HUNDREDS OF RESIDENCES BUILT LAST YEAR. A Score of New Business Blocks and Many Improvements to 01d Ones. Nothing is more indicative of the healthy condition of a city than a disposition on the part of the residents to permanentiy make their home there. There- fore when one sees substantial and ornamental residencesspring up from year to year it means that those who build the resi- dences intend to make their homestead and live on those homesteads. Bemidji has a number of fine old homes, and a large number of fine new ones {which have evidently heen erect- ed by the builders for themselves and their families, The year of 1905 has been busy in this respect. Some years in the past have the building of a large number of houses, but it is doubtful whether any year has seen the building of such a character as the past twelye months. Ic is evident in almost every case that a fairly large expenditure has been made, and all of the houses erect- ed have been large, comfortable and substantial, evidently for the purpose of pleasing the builder and his family who have designed the houses for the pur- pose of spending there a large portion of their future life. The activity in the building of new and the repairing of olé busi- ness blocks has also been mar- velous during the past twelve months. No less than a score of new brick buildings have been erected 1n the heart of the eity, while the improvements made to some of the older buildings hage cost thousands of dollars. e e T—————— CHAPTER 1 VS AND PUBLIC GROUNDS. .
