RECORD BUILDING BOOM.
The resorts record building boom IS under way.
The building permits issued in February and March
show an increase in expenditures of more than 200
PER cent over the same period last year. Building
operations being carried out or contracted for at
present total some $4,000. Nearly hundred cot
tages going up, varying in price from 5000
10000
The feature of the boom is the number OF mod
eratey priced cottages going up. There are none of
the $4,000 to SO0OD0 structures OF former years The
demand by people of moderate circumstances for
summer homes here is unusually large.
