ERA IN BUILDING

Guiding the Town of Cliff
ton Alone. 4

An inspection of the records of City
Building Inspector Tunis is a de-
monstration that Clifton is now in
the midst of period of construction
that is without parallel in the towns
history.
Between May 1, 1913, and August
IL, sixty-six building permits were
issued, these buildings ranging in
size from the one story cottage to
the magnificent residence of General
! Manager Carmichael, and from the
modest frame business house to the
fine cement store building now being
erected by the A: G. Co. in Hills Ad-
dition. -
TO an extent, the recent fire in the,
business section of Chase Creek is
responsible for this building activity,
yet progress in construction can be
seen in all sections of Clifton, espe-
cially noticeable being the building
activity in Hills Addition, where
many beautiful residences have been
recently completed, and others arg
in course of construction Also in
this section, the A. c. Co. is now
building store for the accommoda-
ton of the trade in that section.
This building is of cement, and the
proportions are very commodious,
making this building rank as one of
the best in clifton.
And in the Shannon Hill commun-
ity are many buildings just com.
pleted, and in course of completion.
The fine new Shannon store is not in
cluded in the figures here presented.
The buildings here mentioned in
clude only the town of Clifton, over
shadowing all building in the town
proper being the enormous new
smelter of the A. C. Co, which has
been in course of construction for
many months, and which will soon
be ready for USE
