 The frame of the new depot building is raised. When finished, the building will resemble Tn appearance, the Waterbury depot in architectural design. The front will be finished with French roof surmoun- ted with flag staff. The original design of substituting tin to reduce expense. This would materially mar the appearance of the structure, and it is hoped will not be carried into effect. The difference in expense is but tridinR, and it would be in the estimation of those qualified to judge, poor policy to give tin the preference for the sake of saving few dollars of present expense. Slate is more durable and vastly more ornamental, and we can but hope the company will adhere to the original plan and give us the slate roof.
