channel from Wilmington to South

and widened to 400 feet and that the

BANK CLEARINGS UP
Bank clearings in 1889 rose near
ly $1,000, 900 over the figure of 1888
and bank clearings are usually con-
sidered a good indication Of business
conditions.
The motor transport business re-
ports that 1889 vas an excellen1
year and that 1910 promises to be
even better.

cent of the loan business in this
county.
In ten years building and loan
associations have decreased in num-
Der from 16 to five but have in
creased their assets from 81, 900, 900
to between $4,000, 900 and $4,000, 900.
CONSTRUCTION is HIGHLlGHT
Construction industry increases in
the past year are a highlight of
the advancements made. Private
building in the city in 1889 exceed
ed that Of any year in the decade
save 1880 and, with the work done
by the Housing Authority of the
City of Wilmington added in, con-
struction in the city surpasses that
done in any previous year here.
In addition, there was great build.
ing activity at each of the beaches
and there was at least a half-mil-
lion dollar building program carried
cut in the suburbs which lie just
outside of the city limits. In all,
there was a minimum of $3.50, 900
of building in New Hanover county
in 1899 -. a figure of no mean
Importance.
In the construction picture there
was a decided change during 1889
as industry turned to modernistic
lines of architecture. This is por.
trayed in the plants erected by
White Ice Cream and Milk com.
pany, Macmillan and Cameron COM
pany, the Nehi Bottling company,
and in the new union bus depot.
At, the Ethyl-Dow plant work was
begun and is now under way of in
creasing the capacity of the huge
bromine extraction plant.
The year also saw great activity
here on the part of the Works Prog
ress administration, the Federal
Works administration, and the
NYA, all of which conducted com.
prehensive programs.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOP
MENT UP
Real estate development took a
decided turn upward. Chestnut
Heights, begun in 1889, has been
practically completed and now Glen
Arden, an exclusive suburb is begin
ming to raise. In Sunset Park alone
more than 100 homes were built dur
ing the past year. Winter Park,
Oleander, Woodcrest and Forest
Hills also shared in this growth.
The plant Of the Cape Fear Ter
: minal company was expanded with
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-11

the addition Of a new tank which
raised the total storage capacity
there to 100000 900 gallons of gaso-
line.
During the year the river road
running southwark from the oil ter
minals south of Sunset Park was
extended and now workmen IRE en-
gagged in tieing it in with Front
street to make it a part of the trans
portation system of the city of Will
miugton.
The Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company during the year
began work Of changing all tele-
phones in the city from the manual
to the dial exchange system and
during the year began construc'
ton of its handsome new building
at the corner of Fourth and Prin.
cess streets. The entire program
when completed will cost a total OF
100000.
On Front street there were a
number of changes during the year,
chief of which was the completion
of the new jewelry store Of King
offs and the repaving Of the street
itself.
But the beautiful part about the
construction picture here is that il
was no mushroom growth but was
rather an expansion which is de
stined to continue.
PROSPECTS FOR 40
During the coming year the pro
jects Of the Housing Authority Of
the City of Wilmington are to be
completed. A new theatre, which il
to cost approximately 100000 is tt
