Yesterday a Times called on all of the contractors he could hear about to try and secure a fall and correct list of buildings erected in the city in and now in course of construction.

But as very few of the local contractors advertise it is a difficult matter to attempt to find their places of business. The reporter, however, secured a partial list of buildings constructed last yea and now in course of construction, and in his rounds saw new buildings going up on every street. From the contractors the reporter the following data relative to work.done by them during the twelve months: HUCilANAN iv: POWERS. We built during a residence for L. B.
