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.
