99 NEW HOUSES
 ERECTED IN 1920 HOMES BUILT FOR 425
Conway's Building Record for Last Year Breaks All Records but One,
 Despite Bad Conditions.

1 IJZO than III any previous year, except one, in it's history. The total number, just one less than 100, was greater than the number of buildings erected during the combined three years of 1916, 1917 and 1918, and was only 13 less than the high record established in 1919, when 112 buildings were con structed in this city
 This fact, which is revealed in the unofficial record maintained by Dr. ] George s. Brown, will come as a sur prise to most citizens, who doubtless would think that the extreme high cost of building during the first part of last year and the financial depression of the latter part of the year would have kept building operations here at a low point.
 Of the 99 buildings erected here in 1920, S5 were residences. Assuming an average of five occupants to each new building this would mean an in- crease of 425 in the population of Con way The population on January l, 1920, according to the United States census, was 4,564, exclusive of board ing students, and the building record of the past year would indicate a pop ulation on January l, 1921, or 1889.
 Dr. Brown has kept his interesting record for all years since 1906, with the exception of the year 1918, when not more than half-dozen buildings were erected in the city The number of houses built in Conway for each year from 1907 to 1920. inclusive, is as follows; 1907. 26; 1908, 36; 1909. 35; 1910, 36; 1911, 40; 1912, 57; 1913, 49; 1914, 76; 1915, 37; 1916, A; 1917, 32; 1918, (no record); 1919, 112; 1920, 99
