MANY NEW BUILDINGS NEXT YEAR

City Engineer Believes That Amount of Buildings in Welland Next Year

will Amount to Three-quarters of a Million.

[Welland Telegraph, 31 December 1912]

D.T. Black, town engineer, is optimistic of Welland’s possibilities next year. Mr. Black is confident that the amount of building will reach, if not exceed, three-quarters of a million dollars.

“From what I know at the present time,” he stated, “the coming year will surpass all former years. Every where there is talk of expansion, not only in business houses, but in manufacturing industries as well. The fact that the streets will be paved will help wonderfully, also.”

H.A. Rose is contemplating a new brick block on East Main Street, and A.J.J. Brennan is figuring on adding another storey to his block.
