WILDWOOD CREST

every available cottage has been rented
and is occupied with the exception OF
some unfurnished ones. The building
business has also been very brisk here
the past spring, the apparent hard
times of the country not having been
hardly noticeable. In addition to the
already large number that have been
built this year 1t is estimated that at
least thirty more contracts are now
about to be given out for cottages to be
erected this fall and next spring.
Contractor Il. s. Goslin is pushing
work on the new cottage at Myrtle
road and Pacific avenue for Robert

be a handsome addition to this already

about $4,000.
