MARCH 2d. 1924. • o{ ,j,e GROW TH Sprinsfleld is enjoying a substantial residency building growth. Not a boom as is occurring in some towns but a grow th which is satisfying a genuine demand. A dozen o r more new houses have just been completed or are under construe- ticn. It is noticeable too th at the b e tte r class of houses with concrete foundations are being constructed and no cheap buildings are being put up. Springfield is entering on an era o f prosperity and even with the high cost of build- ing there is no doubt but money invested this way will yield an adequate return.
