Many Marks of City Growth as Re flected la the Records oa FUo at Uie CUy Engineer's Office Macii Balkllnc Going on In Uw CUy EoaUaern Manufartnrenf' Club &e euiVd Permit. One of .the many avidencea ef the growth and progress of Charlotte can be seen monthly from the number and coat of the buildings being erect ed In the city. During the present month of May buildlne: Dennita aggregating $7.M2 were isaued In this cily. and work on nearly aU had been commenced, and many of the smaller contracts completed. In driving In almost every direction from IndeDendence Square, one of the nrst thlna remarked by visitors la the vast amount of build ing and Improvement work that Is being done. After an absence from the city of II months a resident of Charlotte would be amaaed at the improvements and changes. "X left Charlotte during January' or 1908," aald a friend the other day, and returning felt almost as if it were another city. Before leaving, the Y. M. C. A. Building on South Tryon street had been commenced, but the foundations were only up to the sidewalk. The Stoner-all Hotel, on Htst 'iifdc street, had not been touched. tirounn hat rot been brok en for the Charlotte Ainatorium. The Realty Holding, on the square, had been commenced c;Jy tc the extent of tearing down the old building In which the Woodall & gheppard drug store was. The Klrst Baptist church, on North Tryon street, was altogether new to me and, of course, the bltu llthic streets did as much to change the aspect of things as the other Im provements. Aside from the build ings 1 have mentioned, the way In which the residential section has been built up and Improved Impressed me greatly. direct means of vastly benefiting the i Hesidents of Charlotte can not entire State. The latter is nrouKoi about by stimulating efforts towards the organization of similar associa tions thsoughout North Carolina, and surely It is manifest lo all. from the eucceks which has attended your on and other similar Institutions in our realize the improvements and changes in the city so entirely as the visitor does. 1 rnprovemejJt are betng made gradually and oonaWitly, and Char lotte people look upon them aa onry matters of facts, while the man who returns alter several jiars' absenca ildst, t nat no other factor Is more i -,j,rP( ates fully the significance of ntent than this in the development of ,u.afrh 'hrioA arow.' " our waste places, ao to speak, anu in the further onward march of our cities and towns, no matter where lo cated. Now. while a goodly number of the 3 00 associations In the State have Joined the league, and are contribut ing, by their Interest and by very small annunl payments In money, to the consummation of the noble ends In view, the majority of the associa tions have turned a deaf ear to all appeals. This should not be. It Is not creditable to the State. It Is, to be very candid, and I say this In great respect, not fluttering to our nnn- Bills ting associations, and, in reality. Is a great Injustice to the communi ties In which such associations are located. At the last annual meeting, held at Aaheville In 190S. the yearly cost for each association was fixed at $5, and this included the membership fee. Can thare be, therefore, any hnanclal reasons for existing lukew'armnesa and Indifference? Certainly not Can It be that a single association does not sympathise with the objects of the league? Burely not. What. then. Is the cause of the present status? Can It be that the secretaries are so engrossed In their personal affairs that the urgent appeals of our execu tive committee, composed, as it Is, of some of the best citizens of North Carolina, find the waste basket with out ever reaching the directors? Some have so suggested. Can It be that the directors. In some Instances, have been unmindful of the Interest their communities should have In all great movements for their own bet terment and that of our own State? If so. I ask that they look Into this subject Just a little, for, I am quite sure, they will find no adequate rea son for this lack of co-operation. There are a number of associations, some Just organized, some of long standing, which have, from time to time, received at my hands and from others connected with the league, in formation relative to management and to the solution of complex prob lems which arise from time to time, and It has always been furnished gratuitously and with a great deal of pleasure, yet these same associations turn down our appeals for co-operation without response in s ,nne In stances, and. for ought we know, without the slightest attention or con sideratlon. Brethren, Ibis Is not right. This letter, now. is not authorised by the executive committee, or by the president, ibut Is my own personal statement as to conditions well known to me. The criticisms are mine, and. If you find fault therewith, lay It at my door. They arc made In a spirit of kindness, without hope or desire for persona profit or coward, but with a single object In view, namely, to induce you to take this matter up. Join the league, manifest a reasonable Interest In our doings, that the great work of boosting the Old North State may sjo on as never before. I ask you. therefore, to signify your desire to become a member, accom panying the same with a remittance of $5. You will then not be called upon again until 1910. I ask you to endeavor to have your association represented by one or more delegates at the sixth annual convention which meets at Raleigh -on the 9th and 10th of June, cham ber of commerce. I ask you to send me a brief his tory of your association, accompanied by cuts, if you have such, of your president and secretary for publica tion In a prominent daily paper of the Etate without cost. Copies of this letter are being mail ed to each association In the State, so far as our Information goes. If you have already complied with the re quests, no harm is done, and If you have not, I entreat you to honor the league with a prompt and hearty ac quiescence in Its efforts. Very trulv. E. L.
