The new year opened with build,
ing operations in Chickasha going
on at the brisk rate with which
they have been carried forward
during the past six months. Ow-J
ing to the fact that no building
permits are required and no records
are kept, it is almost impossible to
get an accurate record ot what was
done in this line during the past
year, but it is conceded by lumber
lumber dealers and contractors
that more building was done in
1906 than at any time during the
past four years.
Remembering that the work thai
is now in progress is but a gpeci
men ot what has been going on six
months or more, some idea of the
magnitude of what has been ac
complished can be obtained.
The big enterprises on foot, of
course are tbe paving operations
and the $60,000 worth of water
works and sewer extensions whi h
are nearing completion. Then there
are four magnificent h-irk. build
Sngs on Chickasha avenue between
Second and Third; and a three
Jtory, fifty foot front building,
corner of Second and Kansas; a
$20,000 Baptist church; a $7,000
Congregational church and scores
f residences.
A partial list of the buildings in
process of erection and approxi
mate cast follows:
L. M.Ch se, handsome residence
13th and Kansas, $6,000.
F. D. Lemon, residence qth 4
Kansas-, $3500, nearing compie-j
lion.
H. M. Carl, prey cottage 7th
and Oregon, jus: c..rapl ted Jaooo.
Dr. Coryell, two cottages on
South 6tb, $1500 each,
Mr Black, cottage, 5th a'd Or -
gon, $1500.
DOCK ISLAND ADDITI01I
To Chickasha. 61 lots. Price
$150 to $225. $25.00 down and
$10 a month at 8 per cent.
Or 5 per cent discount for
cash. These are the nicest,
cheapest and best lots that there
is in Chickasha. They are the
closest in. See me quick if you
want lots as they won't last long.
They are on South Hill.

GPR0VE9 ARGHITECTURE
Is Needed ia Chickasha, Says a Prom
inent Lumber Dealer
"More tmney ha3 been spent in
Chickasha for lumber with less
returns for it in the way of up-to-
date, modern buildings than in any
town I ever saw," said W. G.
Armstroug, the lumber dealer, in
conversation nrith the Express re
porter, "I mean,'' he continued,
"that tbe people here have not
employed skilled architects in
planning and building their houes
and the result is that they don't
get all that is coming to them for
tbe money they pay out for lum
ber. Their houses are not built
as well and do not present the ap.
pearance that they would If archi
tects were gencrelly employed. We
need better, architecture in tbe
building of ourresidences: it would
not only be to tbe advantage of the
owneis but would immensely im
prove the appearance of the town.
There has been considerable im
provement along this line in the
past few years, notably in houses
recently erected and we have a
few lesidences that are models,
but I'm speaking about conditions
generally, which can certainly be
improved much mure. It pays to
employ a competent architect to
plan a bouse and see that it i
built according to contract."
