- FINANcIAL REsULr

IMPRovENENTs.-W still have few
items to note in the way of improve
ments in buildings, etc:
The work of frescoing the court room
at the new Court House is progressing
satisfactorily. The gentlemen engaged
in the work have been laboring faith
fully, and the ceiling looks as though
it would soon be finished. From the
present appearance of the room we
hesitate not in saying that it will be
handsome, and we have no doubt such
will be the popular verdict. The men
engaged in the frescoing understand
their business, and will prove them
selves skilled workmen. Work is still
progressing in other parts of the
building. The stone steps at the east
end have been put up. It is expected
that everything will be completed by
the first of April.
Carpenters are at work putting in
doors, windows, ETC., in some of the
rooms in Williams new block. The
staging is up in the hall. We are OF
the opinion that it could have been
considerably larger, and still have
left ample space for the dressing rooms.
However, we presume it will be an
improvement on anything now to be
found in our town. The new block
has also been productive of another
mprOvement-viz: a new pavement
along that part of the street.
Our friend II. F. Brown is erecting a
very beautiful residence at the north
east corner of Franklin and Hill
streets.
Mr.. Samuel Rheem is improving his
residence on North Franklin street
very much by enlarging it. 1t has
undergone quite a change, and will
soon make a very handsome residence.
Mr.. Haas is erecting a small two
story brick business house on the cor
ner of North and Depot streets. He
designs it, we understand, for store
room. q
Mr.. Amos Glover is erecting a hand
some brick residence on West William
street, a few lots west of Prof. Perkins
house. There are beautiful sites for
residences along this street, and we
should like to see them occupied by
such buildings as Messrs. Glover and
Perkins have erected.
Mr. James Clark is erecting a very
beautiful residence on South Sandusky
street, a short distance south of the
Springfield Railroad. This will be q
very handsome and convenient house
and we would rejoice to see more OF
Al, za,,,a lind orOir1nr
Workmen are engaged upon the in
complete tower of the Female College
and we may soon expect to see it pre-
senting better appearance than it has
been wont to do for so many years.
Our citizens will no doubt rejoice at
its completion.
The masons are still busily engaged
upon the new building on the Univer,
sity grounds. This, when completed,
will certainly be one Of the most hand
some buildings in town.
Messrs. S. P. dE J. J. Shur are making
sundry changes in the roof of theil
business house on Sandusky street.
A new fence around Mr.. D. OIiIler's
property on corner of Sandusky street
and Lincoln Avenue improves its ap
pearance very much.
Quite an Improvement is being mad,
on William street by cutting down the
high embankment directly west o
Prof. Perkins residence.
North Sanduskv street is still under.
going changes, and all for the better.
Several needed improvements il
pavements have been made recently
on William street.
That part of North street lying cas-
of the iron bridge is being improved.
A crossing for pedestrians has beer
made over South Sankusky street, a
the junction of Harrison street.
