OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE
Mild Weather Has Helped TO
Promote Work.

The mild weather conditions thus
far this winter have done much to
promote building work. 1t has per-
mitted structures in the course Of
erection to be completed more rapid
ly than usual in the winter months
and has caused property owners to
go ahead in many cases with I'M
provements they had planned to be-
gin In the spring. AS was told last
week, the architects are working
more than in corresponding periods
of previous years.
Demands continue to grow for
neat houses and up to date flats.
Stores seem plentiful in practically
all business districts. News of the
erection of a modern apartment
house by Thomas Grieve, at Market
and King streets, and of the erection
of other dwelling structures was re-
ceived last week with more than
ordinary interest. Weather permit
ting, this work is to progress at once.
Factory improvements will be ex-
tensive and plentiful in the coming
spring, judging from present indica-
tons. A number of the large indus
tries hereabouts have grown to such
proportions the past year that pro-
pose1 Improvements are being
planned for the spring. Plans for
much of that kind of work are in the
course OF preparation.
