GREAT BUILDING BOOM
Dwellings Going up in Every
Part of the City, and No
Houses to Rent
Improvement keeps op in this oity
to a wonderful extent, and buildings
are going up in every section of the
oity. Fourteen new residences have
boen completed in the northeast sec

five applications to rent. The large
three-story Btore rooms being erected
bv Frank Busch at Eleventh and
Water streets, has reached t le seoond
floor and the third floor will be made
into a large assembly room for the
accommodation of large gatherings.
Mr. Busoh intends using the two
lower floors and the large basement
below as store rooms to take care of
the immense stoou of merchandise
that is coutiuually overflowing his
' law sales rooms.
Work has bcgun on the root of the
new liiB.OOO high school building, and
the structure is beginning to present a
very commanding appearance, aud
will o iinraand a magnificent view of
much of the city aud north down the
Willamette river.
The Beaver building Is now com
pleted and fully occupied, the office
rooms being prrtty well taken up. J.
O. Killgreen, the Portland contractor
who has the erection of the Gain
brinus building at Main and Sixth
streets, hopes to have the two-Btory
office and store room building ready
for occupa' cv within the next thirty
riavp, and this will be a splendid addi
. tio'r. to the city's appearance.
Houiei are being erected in every
sect on of the oity. In the southeast
part of town several dwellings of pre
tentious size are going up and recon
struction and repairs are noticeable
on every street.
All this work, together witli the
making and grading of streets stretch
iug nearly along the entire hillside
portion bf the oity, is making of Ore
gon City one of the inoBt attractive
home cities in the Willamette valley.
Many almost impassable streets have
been put on a grade, hard surfaoed,
and cement walks built.

second reading an ordinanoe for the
improvement ol sixtn street, in iui
oity. A petition was also filed for the
imnrovement of 13th street, between
Jackson and L Q. Adams streets.
A remonstrance was niett against
the improvement of Kintu street, and
it was evident the cause of the remon

There la evident misunderstanding
among the property holders of the city
as to the workings of the oonorete
walk ordinanoe, as that ordinanoe
only effects the walks on streets that
have alredy been improved, and does
not effect walks on proposed improved
streets, as the property owners on
streets yet to be improved unaer new
petitions may nave uieir uuuiuu u

In this regard, it is to be hoped that
this ordinanoe will not deter the im

proper laying of cement wains, as
they are oneaper m me euu

appearance.
