TWO SPRING DAYS
MAKE BUSINESS BOOM
Building Commissioner Issues Permits
for Seven new Residences, all in
the Second Ward.

The first real days of spring have
started the building fever raging in
the veins Of Kenosha people and this
morning before noon Building In
spector Albers had chalked up the big
gest day of the month and had is
sued permits for the erection of seven
new residences. Not big houses but
just modern homes and every one of
them located in the second ward. The
men who are going to live in them
want to get started right on the spring
jump.
There has been considerable activ-
ity in the building department of the
city for several days and it is expect
ed that from now on the daily report
on permits issued will take big jump.
There are no big buildings in sight
but indications are that many homes
will be built in Kenosha this year re-
CARELESS of the fact that building ma
terials cost money and Labor is scarce.
