BUILDING ACTIVITY
LOOKING BRIGHTER
MANY NEW RESIDENCES ERECT
ED DURING FIRST THREE
MONTHS OF YEAR.
Plans for Future Include Two Ward
School Buildings and New Dor
mitofy at Trinity Univer-
sity-Sidewafk Con-
stfuCtion

That there will be considerable
building activity in Waxahachie this
year is indicated by the fact that with
the year only u gone as many
residences have been completed or
are under course of construction as
were built during the whole of last
year As far as can be learned four
teen residences were erected in the
city last year and some of these were
magnificent homes. This year four
teen houses have either been com
pleted or are now going up. The
list is as follows
: r. w. Knox on Royal street house
completed
l.. r. Campbell, two houses on
North Rogers street. These houses
are in process of construction.
T. G. Bush. two completed houses
on Williams street.
H. N. Peters, house under con-
struction on University avenue.
f. l.. Compton, two houses under
construction on West Main street
A. l.. Rogers, house completed on
Franklin street.
Nat Wise, Williams avenue, house
about completed.
W d Fletcher, house nearing
completion on West Main street.
w. G. Reagor, house completed on
Marvin avenue.
John Criddle. house completed on
Brown street.
]. A. Posey, house completed on
University avenue.
In addition to the above numer-
Gus improvements have been made
on residences by other citizens of
the town. The exact figures could
not be obtained but these buildings
and improvements will cost several
thousand dollars.
Another item that will figure
quite extensively in these improve
ments is the construction of cement
sidewalks. Work along this line has
been quite active since January /,
and contractors now have contracts
enough to keep them busy several
months
The start that has been made in
dicates healthy growth during the
year. A number of citizens whose
names are not mentioned in tho
above list are planning to build resi-
/ hences between now and the mex
winter season. It is also qHite likel
that the year will see the erection {
two or three large business house

Der of years ago Four years ago a
