Residence Section To Be De-
veloped On Clarke Ave.
Extended.
VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS
In OTHER PARTS OF CITY

Some little activity is being noticed
along building and improvement lines.
Ounce Ashburn has commenced the
erection of two new houses on the ex-
tension of Clarke avenue between
Vine street and Linden avenue. He
expects to improve the tract which is
now occupied by his lumber business
with a number of neat residences; his
yard to be removed elsewhere.
On the east side of the street a
row of very attractive cottages will
be erected. These, he will either rent
or sell, and plans of same can be seen
at his office.
At present, he has not sufficient
depth of ground on tine west ssde to
accommodate buildings, but it is un-
derstood that he has the prospect Of
securing enough from adjacent prop
erty. owners to make sufficient depth.
This street bids fair to become very
desirable residential section.
Along the line of improvement may
be mentioned the changes being made
in the room formerly occupied by the
Citizens National Bank. This has
been rented by the enterprising firm
of Cluff & Coulbourne for their car
riage and harness business.
The place has been divided into two
rooms. One of these will be used for
the display of stock; the other, as a
work-room. At present, this firms
work shop is on Vine street. The ar
rangement to connect it Immediately
with the sales department will unity
the business and will allow it to be
conducted with more satisfaction to
the trade.
There will also be room on which
might be called the Mezzanine floor,
for the display of carriages. These
will be raised to this elevation by
block and fall, and will be in a good
display position.
A large door has been cut in the
front of the building, entering the
sales room, and the door in the work
room will be large enough to receive
vehicles of all description.
This firm reports it has use, at
times, for a small forge. The vaults
Of the former bank will be fitted up
as small iron working department,
greatly to every ones convenience.
When completed, Clufr & Coulbourne
will be nicely located, better equipped
to do business, and the change from
his former place should result in
greatly increased sales and produc-
ton.
Benjamin Givarz is making really
desirable room out of the store recent
ly occupied by J. Carl Ross on Will
low street. The place was at one
time used as a bakery. During Mr..
Ross tenancy, the old oven remained
in it's position in back room. This
now has been removed, the entire floor
torn out and laid anew, and the whole
length of the building thrown into one
room. The sides will be done in
tongue and grooved boards, the ceiling
will be finished in metal. The floor,
w;ll be dropped to the street pave
ment, and the show window will be
lowered to conform to the new level.
This place will make desirable busi-
ness location, and no doubt Mr.. Givarz
will find easy rental.
The residence removed from Maple
street to Front by J. Milton Clogg,
is now resting in position on the old
Dickerson lot. When improvements
are completed on this, it will make a
very desirable place to live.
Lewis Cleaning and Dye Works,
an industry which rivals those of the
largest cities as complete and up
to-date institution are extending
their already extensive quarters thru
to Maple; when finished it will reach
from Willow to the above named
street. The proprietors will install
the latest and most approved machin-
cry, will employ competent and ade-
quate force for their increasing busi-
ness; and, when completed, people
need look no further for place to an
wer such needs as Lewis claims to
meet.
