MANY PRETTY BUNGALOWS
ERECTED IN TIE CITY

Several pretty bungalows are being
built In the northern part Of the city
among them o very pretty u foomN
residence for Dr. G. n. Connor, on
North Twelfth street, which VIII cost
about 81 900. Or. j. e. Bronson has
commenced the construction of a 3d.
500 bungalow on Twelfth street and
Frank r. Harris, also has practically
completed a pretty little residence TO
cost $4,000. r. c. Cartwright Is
building a beautiful bungalow on the
corner Of Thirteenth street and coma
avenue. which, when completed, will
cost about $1,000. The bungalow
budding bee has attacked the resi-
dents Of the north part Of the city
ana plans are being drawn for the
construction OF many more.
The north part OF the Highlands in
the last year or two has been filled
with pretty modern residences, many
Of them built of stone or cement
blocks, all substantial, artistic and
attractive. so that this portion of the
city is becoming m of the best APP
pcaring residence sections. With the
beginning this month of ii campaign
Of street improvement in the High
lands, II Is expected that building
VIII take q brace all over that part
Of the city. one by one residences
are dotting the mesa east of the city,
a large two-story house being now in
process Of erection on the east end Of
the Terrace addition near the uniNer-
sity. At the extreme south end of the
Highlands scores Of pretty cottages
are going up and indeed it is hard to
pick out any part of the city where
house building is not in progress.
Among other noteworthy items In
! I. h,f1Ifnu - "a h, "a linn for fhi1 NaDr
are a new Methodist Episcoal church,
south. to be one of the best equipped
houses of worship in the city, q big
building to be erected By J korber,
at the corner Of South Second street
and Tljcras. to be headquarters for
the city government, a new store
building to be built by T.. Maharam,
adjoining his present place of bust
ness on West Central venue and nu-
merous others.
The Albuquerque Pressed Brick and
Tile company is completing extensive
improvements in its plant south of
the city, including a huge stack, pro-
baby the largest Of It's kind in New
Mexico. The Matthews Jersey dairy
has just completed, at great expense,
a new and modern plant on he cx-
tension of North Fourth street. The
completion OF Rodey han and the re-
modelling Of the main building AT the
University OF New Mexico. just com
pleted at a cost of SIG, 600, may be
included in the 1908 building expen-
ditures. 1t Is quite likely that in the
neXt thirty or sixty DAYS enough new
building viii be announced to bring
the total to nearly t~hree-quarters of
"a million.
This showing, while a startling one.
ana ~unequalled by amy other city IN
the southwest. is not exaggerated The
figures are available. Add to this the
possible beginning of q city han and
the expenditure this year Of $500, 600
for a new sanitary system, the con
tract for which viii be let in n few
weeks, and the sur total is, to say
the least, staggering. 1t is a most
impressive object lesson I'm prosperity.
There is no room for doubt in the
mind OF the most pessimistic that
Mlbuquerqu0s development in the
two or three years viii be with
parallel in the southwest.
