J. J. Montgomery Begins the Construction of $2,000 Bungalow.

J. J. Montgomery has purchased a lot juat south of the residence property occupied by Dr. W. L. Meyer on Cullen street, of C. G. Spitler and will erect thereon a modern brick veneer bungalow, containing five rooms and a bath. The bungalow will have no lath or plaster on the inside but will be lined with the new wall board panels. It will be roofed with asphalt shinges and is supposed to be an airproof, rain-proof, vermin-proof,- and cold and heat proof bungalow. Ben Smith will do the excavation for the cellar and will do all concrete work. Hiram Day has the contract for all the brick work, while Catt and Beckman have the contract for the frame work. The plan for Building is one recommended by a relative of Mr. Montgomey, who is a building contractor and has constructed many bungalows of that design in the past few years. The bungalow will have low ceilings and it is claimed that the fuel required in heating it will equal only about half of that necessary for an ordinary house. *Mr. Montgomery expects to have his new home ready for occupancy by November Ist. It will cost about $2,000.
