City building During 1941

Many small contracts in the city this year kept tile building interest alive. Only a fclv large buildings were erected but rllally smnilcl" ilcuscs and renovations to dwellings kept carpenters busy. Apartment houses, residences, dwellings, an- nexes and a large show-room were among the projects undertaken during the past twelve months.

Tile year" saw lllore small build- crs, many of tllcm from outside l-lle city. employed in constructing houses and renovating existing dwellings. The largest building to be undertaken was an apartment house whim is estimated to cost 518.000. A large sholv-room costing. in the vicinity of $8.000 was also built. whiny contracts were for less than $1.000.
