In not far distant future they an
tictpate a great exodus OF business
men from Perth Amboy to these
country places to live. and they be-

on which to erect homes during the

OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING Line
All Indications Point to Busy
Spring Here.

Views of architects and builders
as expressed this week are favorable
towards a busy spring and perhaps
an exceedingly good summer for men
OF the building trades. While work
Is somewhat slack at the present
time, owing to the seasonrand activ-
ity OF labor organizations, the out
look for the spring and early sum-
mer is reported to be good. A rush
that one architectural concern had
in the fall and winter is still contin-
ing.
Indications are that there will be
numerous additions to factories and
likewise numerous alterations and
some additions to stores and conf
mercial buildings. There will prob
ably be several apartment houses
and one-story dwellings erected dur
ing the coming summer. Demand
seems to be continuing for dwelling
places, while there appears to be a
sufficient supply of stores AMI offices.
This condition has existed for some
time and property owners are awak-
ening to the fact.
