| C0nstru ction in this city continues,
to progress to some extent despite
the apparent handicap In securing
building material and labor. Sew
eral large buildings begun early this
spring or last fall are now, nearing
completion and will be ready for fall
use. Others have been started this
summer and will be finished as soon
as possible. The erection of houses
has not been Gerry large here this
year and this is due largely to the
fact that nearly every prospective
builder is waiting until the cost Of
material has declined Those who
had planned the erection of business
houses have nearly all carried out
their plans, since expanding business
necessi tated such action. f.,
