In real estate and building circles
decided improvement has been seen
during the past ten days. The sum-
mer and early fall months were de.
cidedly slow and few sales we're re-
ported. But since the first Of October
there has been much activity and every
available mechanic is engaged on the
various building operations which are
under way.
Undoubtedly one OF the most i'm.
portant deals of the year was the or
ganization of the Alexandria Construc-
ton Co. and the breaking OF ground on
north Washington street for row OF
ten modern residences. Monroe and
Marbury were the promoters OF the
enterprise and have been appointed ex-
elusive selling agents for the property.
According to their announcement
the houses are to be OF the most
modern construction.
They will set back some 10 feet from
the present building line, terraced. and

nice modern bath; hot and cold water,

crete cellars; concrete sidewalks; model
kitchens; and all other improvements
necessary to make these houses thor
oughly modern in every detail.
The location is regarded as among
the most desirable in the city and
values in that section have been on the
steady Increase.

store will undoubtedly be the hand

three stories and basement. An eleva-
tor will give easy access to the three
floors. Immediately on entering the
building will be handsomely fitted

If YOU cannot say anything good FOR
the town OF your birth, You should
keep silent on teh subject. Almost
everywhere else the residents OF lhe
town point with pride 10 its progress
as we'll as other things. Speaking
of progress. Alexandria is now max
ing splendid progress. In fact, there
is every Indication that the present
year will go down as one OF the most
successful along all lines of bust
ness as ana previous year.
Many modern houses have been
erected in various parts OF the city.
and a number are now in course OF
construction. All OF these houses
are of the type which have been great
" in demand within the past few
years.
In addition to the erection of hous-
es, we have several new factories
which have begun operation since the
first OF the year. giving employment
10 many hands.
With these came the Improvement
of number Of streets and the con-
tiuuation OF the sewerage system,
which. Of course, follows in the wake
Of all improvements.
All these are signs Of a .healthful
growth. which can be easily pointed
