THIRTY RESIDENCES
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Sixteen Costing From $500 to $4,000
Extraordinary Activity

Yesterday we Oegan an enumeration
of the number Of residences under con-
struction at this time and were little
astonished at the result. Calling every
building with three or more rooms a
residence we found that upwards of
thirty residences are at this time in
various stages of building and not a
week passes but work on three or four
new ones is begun.
One of the most encouraging signs,
Indicating permanency and confidence
in the future of the town, is the fact
that many of the buildings erected the
past few months as we'll as those just
begun, are Of a substantial character,
provided with modern home comforts
and conveniences, such as furnaces,
hot and cold water all over the house
and many other accessories that indicate
the owners ability to have all these
things. Counting four that were COM
pleted since the first OF March there
are fourteen residences that cost from
$500 to upwards of $4,000. The fol-
lowing partial list is enough to indi-
cate that there is something doing in
the building line.

pleted, located in Second addition.

in round numbers, $4,000.
