THAT WILL EQUAL THREE
TIMES SIZE OF BROWNIES
ADDITION JOB.

In the matter of street paving
during 1910, the north side prom
ises to keep pace with the rest of
the city. There are sufficient paw
ing propositions under contempla-
tion at this time, that If carried out
will equal three times the area of
the Brownies addition Job, esti-
mated to cost over 100000. Some
of these projects have been order
ed by the city council, petitions are
out for others, and still others are
in the formative period that pre-
cedeS the issuance of the paving

The paving of Monroe street in
1908 and Division street in 1909 has
given an impetus to this character
of improvement on the north side,
and it will not be many years until

the central section of the north
side are improved with paving.

GREENE BLOCK
A BEAUTY |

, When ]. w. Greene, one of the
most consistent and persistent be-
levers in north side real estate,
said that he proposed to erect
modern five-story building at Mon
roe and Indiana, some said that he
was forcing the possibilities of the
district. Now that the building is
under roof and an idea can be had
Of it's architectural beauty, Greene's
Judgment is viewed differently.
The new Greene block would
make an ornament for Riverside
avenue. 1t contains five high
stories and is built of steel with a
white brick exterior, and is one Of
the most attractive business build
ings in the city. The inquiries Mr..
Greene has had from prospective
tenants leads him to believe there
will be no difficulty in renting the
rooms. He has announced his in
tention of erecting another such
building at Monroe and Maxwell.
The Greene block is the largest
building built for commercial pur-
poses in Spokane at that distance
from the heart of the city.
