Mr.. +. f. Draper OF New York has given
another proof Of his interest in Brattleboro
by having an architects drawing made OF a
balcony and entrance for the front OF the
town hall building. The drawing contem
plates a two-story structure giving a covered |
entrance with easy steps and side rails, and |
on the second story a commodiOus band stand |
also covered. The structure would be Of iron |
similar in construction aud effect to the |
Brooks House balcony Its cost would be
from = 1900 to $1,000. Such structure would |
not ouly be convenience aud protection for |
the public, but 1t would materially improve
the looks Of the building and give it a hand
some architectural effect. The post Office de.
partment ought never to consent to the post
office remaining in the building without a re-
construction Of the entrance, for the present
steps are a constant menace to life and limb
in winter weather.
