Due to the steady growth of pop ulation which has been oeeasioned by the extended opportunities of fered by Wrange1l during the last two years a real building boom has begun. A year ago it became evil dent that something had to be done to provide living quarters for the new recruits coming to fill places in the community's expanding in dustries.
 During the twelve months that have just gone by efforts have been made to relieve the situation. This has mainly been accomplished by citizens who had been renting their homes, getting the progressive spirit which is peryading the atmos- phere, and building houses of their own. In a few instances men of means have erected houses to rent. In all, forty-one residence houses have been completed or construc- ton work started on them during the year. Most of these are of a class refleeting credit to the pro- gressiveness of Wrangells citizens.
 In addition to the Il residences ten new buildings have been erect ed or are under construction for business or commercial purposes. Conspicuous among these is a new garage which is nearing completion. IL is the property of Mr. I. C. Bjorge who has been the principal transfer man" during past years, and is Wrangell's first commercial garage. Another is the station of the Union Oil Co.,. which is under construction behind Shakes Point. Others are the new quarters of the Wrangell Shell Fish Cannery, the enlarged quarters of the Wrangell Lumber and Power Company, Aro- las blacksmith shop, (which is talk ing on the proportions of a ma chine shop). Ferguson's new plumb ing shop and a number of new store buildings. This list does not include a host of small more or less temporary buildings that have been erected for emergency needs.
 Tn present building program also includes a new. modern s50,000
