At recent meeting of the Directors
of the Ravenna Manufacturing COM
pany, plan of the building TO be
by the Company was adopted.
Our townsman, Mr.. j. Bacon, having
been employed for that purpose, had
drawings of the building af-
ter the plan adopted, and was present,
ready to make any necessary expiana-
tions. But explanation was wholly
as the drawings explain
themselves fully, being as perfect and
showing Of what the build
ing is to be as could possibly be mads. !
and shows in the execution the work
of master hand.
There are four views of the build
ing-north, south, east and west. The
one fronting on Cleveland Avenue,
being designed for the front, presents
the main building, forty feet wide and
three stories high, and a wing-de-
signed for the Notwithstanding
south at right angles with the main
building forty feet therefrom, joining
to it twenty feet from the rear end,
and extending twenty feet beyond. a.
giving room forty feet square. In
the rear of, and attached to, the main
building, which is ninety feet long, is
situate the south shop-forty feet by
twenty-which is calculated for the
working of six forges, and in which is

viii Be- seen, tile whole length Of The
building is ninety feet, main three
stories high, seventy feet, and smith
shop, with shed roof, twenty feet,
which, extending south, joins the
foundry, making the west end of the
building thirteen feet under the caves,
eighty feet long. On top of the foun-
dry is situate a skylight, to be so ar
ranged as to serve at once the pur-
poses of light and ventilation.
There are, also, two other drawings,
ground plan and draft of self
supporting roof the floors ofdhe
second and third stories being sup
ported by iron rods from the roof,
leaving the machine room, forty by
seventy feet, clear of obstruction,
light and pleasant. But one must see
the plan as demonstrated by the draw
ings to appreciate its perfection.

up at once by Mr.. Bacon, and as soon
as ready, the Directors intend to re-
ceive bids preparatory to letting the
contract for constructing the building
A large portion of the brick and
stone necessary therefor, are now on
the ground.
The Directors, by their promptness
in getting materials ready, by the en-
ploymeut of SO skAlful draughtsman
as Mr.. Bacon, and by the ability dis.
played in getting up SO perfect plan
demonstrate that they are alive to tht
interests of the STOCKHOLDERS; and W.
are happy in the knowledge that theil
administration extends oyer a sufh
clent length of time to enable them t.
carry out the plans they have adopted
and that their brains originated
