AS mentioned in our report of the last
meeting of the Board of Aldermen, the
Ethans have plan for building an engine
house on the site of the not particularly I'M
posing building they now occupy. Elaborate
plans Of the structure have been made by Mr..
A. b. Fisher, the well known architect aud
builder. The building will be so by % feet
and three stories in height On the ground
| floor, there will be a good-sized store in
'front.' and a room for the storage Of the COM
papy's apparatus, etc, at the rear. The
second story will be devoted TO offices, and on
the third floor the company will have its par
Tors. In the basement the plan shows room
for the use of the whole department. with
convcniences for washing and oiling hose,
and connecting with 1t is hose tower. The
plans show very handsome building. The
company asks of the city only the use of the
land and 5000 per year-thc rent paid for
its present rooms. On the other hand the
proposition Is to SO arrange matters that the
city should own the building at the expiration
of term of years to be fixed by mutual
agreement, and should come into immediate
possession in case Of the dissolution OF the
company. We are unable TO see why the
proposed arrangement would not be a very
advantageous one for the city.

The FREE Press has just added to its me-
chanical equipment one of the lannon's Camp.
bell printing presses. This makes the sec.
ond new press added within year. The
latest addition is a two.rcvolution cylinder of
recently improved design and one of the
largest sizes. This addition was demanded
by the largely increased and still growing
business of the establishment. Our press
room now contains no less than six
power presses, larger number, we be-
licvc, than any other pressroom in Vermont.
The Campbell presses are well known for
tine very fine quality of work they produce
and for their fast speed. With our new
press, therefore, we are able to do the finest
work at the very lowest possible cost, and

the country at reasonable prices and on short
notice. In all departments ourfriends may
be glad to learn our business is increasing and
