and flats, twostory, brick store
and Nat building. and a large num-
Der OF smaller stores and fats, as
well a. small apartment structures.
The amount Of work out for fig-
ures reaches large volume. and the
contracts awarded have created q
spirit OF great activity on the part OF
local contractors.

on all sides. and 1t is with difficulty

ton. particularly If 1t is intended to
proceed with the work quickly,
