BUILDING BOOM IS PREDICTED FOR RICHMOND
Over $1,000,000 worth of construction work is being done in Richmond now or will probably be started in the next few months. While the biggest Job now under way near the city, the $500,000 Pennsylvania railroad shops and improvements In the new yards, is just now held up by a strike, hope is held out that the work will be resumed soon. Foundations are laid for almost all this work, and a few of the buildings are almost complete. The $185,000 Main street bridge is another large building job now going on, and the South Ninth street improvements now contemplated will cost In the neighborh od of $40,000. If the South G street bridge and the West Side boulevard are authorized, several hundred thousand dollars will be spent In these improvements, while small street improvements are being made constantly. New Building Projects. The Acme furniture company is building a new factory in Fairview. The Jenkins-Vulcan Spring company will start their new factory on North Eighth streets within a few weeks; the rebuilding of a unit of the F. N. Watt Casket company, destroyed by fire, will cost $30,000. Completion of the new K. of P. temple will be accomplished soon and this building will cost $75,000. The Greenville gravel company is erecting one of the largest and most modern plants in the state, east of town, which will cost about $100,000. Among the improvements contemplated when building conditions permit are the new Garfield high school and a $30,000 garage. A number of factories have planned extensions to be built after the war, and work may start on some of these before snow flies next fall. Improvements and repairs are being made much faster now than three monthts ago, with returning confidence in trade conditions. The building of residences does not hold quite so bright a prospect. The high cost of materials and the fact that rents are too low for the money invested Is keeping down house building as an investment, and persons who wish to build their own homes are waiting until the cost is lower. However several residences will be begun soon. WILLIAMS APPROVES SCHOOL BOOK ACT C. O. Williams, county superintendent of schools, says the provision in the appropriations bill before the legislature, which cuts off appropriations for the members of the state board of education unless all proceedings are open and also the ballot on the selection of school books, is not of Interest to him personally, but he thinks there may be some dissension In the board over it. "I believe the school book ballot provision is immaterial, because the ballot will probably be open no matter what action is taken by the legislature, but the provision regarding open meetings is another matter," said Williams. "Personally I do not care whether the meetings are open or closed, but I think that there may be objection to open meetings in the board. The school board is like any other institution which goes into executive session, there are matters which cannot be discussed fully unless it is certain they are not to be given publicity, and some members may feel that the provision makes the board ineffective." Some members of the board may prefer to hold their meetings at their own expense, rather than submit to the provision, says Williams. Berlin Orders House to House Search for Guns BERLIN, March 1.
