The Summer Guest.

The naughty dame who lives next door
Has gone away.
She'll spend the summer at the shore.
The papers say.
She never asked us to a tea
Or to a dance.
Our house she never seemed to see
BY any chance.
We all knew that
Yet now wen have to entertain
Her pesky cat.

No better evidence Of the rapid
and prosperous growth Of Detroit can
be found than in a casual survey OF
the new Office buildings. commercial
plants. hotels, stores, apartment
houses and private residences that
are springing up day after day. In
the downtown section the rhythmic
tap OF the pneumatic hammer is heard
constantly, marking rapid time as
the steel frames OF future tall build
ings climb upward. The work song
OF the builder is echoed in the out
skirts where subdivisions are being
covered with dwellings and neighbor.
hood business sections are assuming
the proportions OF small cities, com
plete with stores, branch banks, post
offices, etc.
AT the present time Detroit is en-
joying the healthiest growth of any
city in the United States, and there
is every indication that ii will con-
tinue, as the demand for housing ac-
commodations keeps up despite the
activity of the home builders.

Rx ROBERT oAKMAN.

When you ask me TO discuss Detroit
you turn my thoughts back TO the dis
tant past and | search the deeps OF
the situation To strike a sum total OF
things as they are compared with
things as they were. IL is easy TO
see things as they are-they stand
out in bold relief, but, | take 1t for
granted that not everybody ia our
city has viewed the onward march OF
Detroit as long as | have. In the
days preceding the Introduction or the
automobile In our industrial life, we
have had expansions. They were
not rugged like the one which is now
carrying us toward the million-popu-
lation mark. There is a good reason
II is we'll known TO those who lived
here In the early days. Detroit felt
the throbbing pulse OF other business
centers and was quick to grasp new
ideas, mold them into definite form
and adopt them In its general bust
ness life But they were not so pro
ductive OF splendid results as they are
today. The automobile was not here,
and while some men perhaps had
visions OF horseless things the aver
age person never expected To see the
city transformed into the automobile
center OF the world. with the eyes OF
all nations focused upon It.
But. after ALL we are now in the
grip OF progressive era, and | shall

Appropriated Sl5O,OOO,OOO and the
1914 assessment figures will be sur
prising. The building boom has
reached 10 every corner OF the city
and far beyond The records show
that In the year 1904 the estimated
cost OF new buildings was about 81
600 .000, and in 1907 this figure was
doubled In percentages the increases
for the past five years are as follows;
1909, an increase OF SO per cent over
the preceding year: 1910, an increase
'of % per cent: 1911, an increase or
10 per cent; 1912. an increase or 81
per cent, and 1913, an increase OF
10 per cent.
Some idea OF the number OF new
buildings that have been erected IN
Detroit during the past 10 years can
be gathered from report showing
that over $4,000 building permits were
granted in that period for new struc-
lures OF all kinds. In 1913, 7415 per-
mits were issued for new buildings,
and 1911 for alterations and add
tons.

The huge Whitney Is already casting
its shadow over the park. Nearby
the Statler hotel is being erected and

addition. The steel work ON the
Whitney building on the southwest
corner OF Parkst. and Woodward-ave.

site side of Woodward-ave prepare
tons are being made TO build To-
story apartment building facing the
park and around the corner on Ran
dolph-st. the new ID. A. c. home is
nearing completion. In other paris
OF the downtown district work is be-
ing pushed on large office and store
buildings. Alterations and additions
TO buildings are being made In al
most every block.
On the outskirts subdivisions are
rapidly being converted into populons
home centers. Where, few years
ago, herds Of cows grazed complac-
emily on green meadows, streets
have been opened up. sewers dug,
sidewalks laid and homes erected.
Detroit has many natural advan-
tages not enjoyed by other cities, with
it's fine water front, beautiful parks,
broad streets and its many pleasure
resorts and points OF interest. II
has many large and flourishing man

ployment TO countless thousands.
