Weekly Digest QRea
Estate And Building

For the past two or three weeks
little has been doing in the building
line as far as this city is concerned,
and indications are that the present
conditions will remain until after the
holiday season. OF course the work
on several new structures in the city
is progressing rapidly. but no new
buildings are being started.
Among the buildings that are
nearing completion is the store and
office building of the Maple Realty
Company, corner Madison avenue
and Smith street. The rainy wealth
er during the past few days has held
up construction work to a consider
able extent, but 1t has advanced now
to a point that unless exceedingly
cold weather comes, work can con-
tinue as usual.
The new building of the Dorsey
Motor Inc, corner Fayette and
Maple street, Is nearing completion.
Although there is considerable work
still to be done of this structure, the
actual construction work is about
finished. The new three-story addi-
ton to the Simmer bakery plant in
Maple street is also progressing rap
idly and it is safe to assume that the
building will be turned over for the
use of the plant within a short time.
Work is also progressing rapidly
on the new addition to the high
school. The rafters for the roof are
now being placed and it is the inten-
ton of the contractor 10 have the
building ready for delivery on the
date set.

have been filed in the county clerks
office:

Simon Kiyak, general contractor,

side Sutton street, Perth Amboy,

in this city better times are already
being seen. Many of those who have
not reported sales in many months
