p. NJ. Sharples. OF the Sharples
Separator Company. who intends TO
remove his large plant from West
Chester, accompanied by B. NJ. Bur
dette. general manager OF the company,
conferred with officials OF the Chamber
OF Commerce in this city yesterday
afternoon about the possibilities Of
locating his large plant IN wilmington.
After discussing the advantages OF
Wilmington and The various locations
that might be available. Mr.. Sharples.
Mr. Burdette and the Chamber OF Com
merce officials inspected some Of the
sites mentioned. They were impressed
with them, but made no definite an
nOuncement as 70 whether the COM
pany would locate in Wilmington.
Two OF the principal objections
voiced by Mr.. Sharples 10 erecting his
establishment i'm Wilmington were the
scarcity OF houses for workers and the
prevailing high rents. The Chamber
Of Commerce officials expressed be-
lief that there could be adjustments
that would remove those objections.
One Of the chief inducements 10 him
TO locate in Wilmington, ne said, was
the harbOr project. Mr.. Charples said
he was somewhat skeptical about VII
mington going ahead with its harbOr
development plans. and II he had some
evidence that the city is going ahead
with that project 10 might have great
weight with him in deciding 90 locate
in Wilmington.
"Mr. Sharples may ease himself on
that score" said Councilman James w.
Robertson, chairman OF the finance
committee OF Council today. There
is every indication that the harbor pro-
iect will go through. 4 committee OF

BUILDING BOOM
IS PREDICTED
FOR RICHMOND

Over $1,000, 900 worth of construc-
tion work is being done in Richmond
now or will probably be started in
the next few months.
While the biggest job now under
way neer the city, the 100000 Penn
sylvania railroad shops and improve
ments in the new yards, is just now
held up by strike, hope is held out
that the work will be resumed soon.
Foundations are laid for almost all
are almost complete.
The $4,000 Main street bridge is
another large building job now going
on, and the South Ninth street i'm
provements now contemplated will
cost in the neighbour, cd of $4,000.
If the South G. street bridge and the
West Side boulevard are authorized.
several hundred thousand dollars will
be spent in these improvements. while
small street improvements are being
made constantly.
New Building Projects.
The Acme furniture company is
building a new factory in Fairview.
The Jenkins-Vulcan Spring company
will start their new factory on North
Eighth streets within a few weeks !;
the rebuilding of a unit of the r. N.
Watt Casket company, destroyed
by fire, will cost 100000 Compile
ton of the new X. of P. temple will
be accomplished soon and this build
ing will cost $4,000. The Greenville
gravel company is erecting one of
the largest and most modern plants in
the state, east of town, which will
cost about 100000.
Among the improvements contem-
plated when building conditions per-
nit are the new Garfield high school
and a $4,000 garage.
A number Of factories have planned
extensions to be built after the war,
and work may start on some of these
before snow flies next fall.
Improvements and repairs are be-
ing made much faster now than three
months ago, with returning conf
dence in trade conditions.
The building of residences does not
hold quite so bright prospect. The
high cost of materials and the fact
that rents are too low for the money
invested is keeping down house build
ing as an investment, and persons
who wish to build their own homes
are waiting until the cost is lower
However several residences will be
begun soon.
