lot near his own home on Adams
street. This little place will be built
for renting and will be numbered
among the very prettiest in the city
for that purpose. The demand is so
great for houses that it will no doubt
be taken many weeks before it is com
pleted
Mackay e Company are drawing
the plans for a home TO be built for
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Ponder on their
lot on East Broadway. This home

bungalows that are now so popular
with those who are building homes.
Another house that is in the course
or construction for renting is being
put up on East Ocklawaha avenue,
near pretty LynwoOd Heights. The
