New Houses Going Up on Central Avenue
Several new residences are now going up on Central avenue, which bids fair to be one of the most popular residential streets in town.
Mr. C.P. Armstrong let the contract Friday to Mr. W.H. Hand for the erection of an attractive cottage on this street, which will be occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong as soon as completed, about the first of September.
Another new residence on Central avenue is almost completed. It is being built by Contractor A.E. Clemmer for Dr. J.W. Reid of Lowell. Dr. Reid is building his house to rent. It would be a fine thing for Belmont if a number of other houses would go up for rent purposes, as there is hardly a house to be found here for rent at any time.
