He has had the offer‘of big contracts since his slate for this year was full. This is going to be a busy season in the building line. Ir the past nine months, there has been three exceptional exper- iences; two days in July of ex- treme heat, a few days in Winter of excessive cold, and the greatest spring fres‘het ever known here.
