Permits Issued for Two Major
improvements Besides New
Homes, Remodeling
BEST RECENT YEAR
Several New Store Fronts and
Greenhouse Addition
Since January l

Redwood Falls home owners and
investors have faith in the city's tut
ure. This is proven by a study OF
building operations carried on here
during the spring and summer months
and continuing now in the early fall.
The total cost will be approximately
100000.
Besides two major construction
projects recently opened in the bust
ness district, several new homes and
remodeled homes and business places
have been completed since January
and others are underway.
This healthy condition is especially
noteworthy after a season in which
business depression, drouth and un-
employment have been popular topics
of conversation. A check at the office
Of F. B. Forbes, city recorder, where
all building permits are recorded,
shows that building projects have
been as plentiful in the city this year
as in any other recent year.
