 The new Jocelyn flats now being erected
 on York street, between Grown and George
 streets, are modelled after the very best New
 York flats, and are something new in design
 for New Haven in some respects. The ex- terior will be of brown stone and pressed
 brick. with handsome bay windows on the front and side. The block will contain one grand front entrance, which will be of rock- faced brown stone arched ,and will have large
 brown stone platform and steps. The vesti- bule and main hall will be tiled The entire interior will be finished in brown ash. The building will be double three story struc- ture and will contain six hats in all, one on each side of the main hall. The interior will be decorated before being occupied. Each family will have a separate verandah. The contracts require that the edifce shall be completed by the 18th of April next. MT. William Gay, the publisher, of New York, formerly having his office on Chapel street, this city, is the owner, and Charles D. Kin ney has the contract for the mason work and Major W. A. Lincoln, the nominee for alder man in the Tenth ward, has the con- tract for the joiner work. The premises will be heated by steam and fitted up with the most modern sanitary plumbing. Each bath room and kitchen will have separate water main and separate sewer connections, sepa- rate ventilators to the roof and also to the chimney dues. No water pipes will be laid under the floors, thus avoiding leaks and pre- venting the tearing up of carpets or floors. The floors will be doubled and deadened forn khafr o&of and back halls, freplaces, which will be handsomely tiled, ,and grates will also be pro- vided with patent gas coke fires. There will be hard wood mantels. There will be jan itor for the premises, who will take charge of ! the main hall and staircase, which are to be heated, lighted and cleaned by the owner. ! The janitor will also send up the coal by the lifts 10 each family. There will be ash shutes to each fireplace. The jsnitor will also take charge of the sidewalks and premises in gen eral. The first floor flats will have six rooms, while the second and third story flats will three front rooms to each flat will have slid ! ing doors, so that they can all be opened \ together when required. The building will cost, when all completed, about $20, 900. The strike of the mssons who are employed by Norcross Brothers on the new college building still continues. Several days of splendid working weather have in conEe- quence have been lost, days that are far from ! numerous at this time of the year. The ma son builders who are executing contracts about town have been happy over the good working days of late.
 Work has been begun for the erection of the handsome new Methodist church on Howard avenue, corner of Portsea street. A description of the structure was given few days ago in our columns. The walls of the church will be of North Haven brick Mr. David H. Clark will execute the joiner work and MT. o. D. Kinney the mason work. The cost of the church will be about $50, 900. It will be one of the most notable new build | ings of the year 1889 in New Haven. It will not be completed before next fall.
 MT. Rockwell, the joiner, is finishing the English residence on Prospect street, west side, just above the Davis residence. The New Haven Heating Go. are now putting steam heating apparatus in the building. At the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., .'s ! premises one or more new buildings are in process of erection all the year round The latest is an addition to the blacksmith shop, caused by the taking of part of that shop for room for one of two new boilers which the concern will put in in the spring-more
 steam power being required. The new sd- dition is about completed. The new boilers will be large sized. Another big chimney has been erected The new chimney is 127 feet high and large quantity of brick was required in it's construction.
 About 100, 900 brick will be required for
 the erection of the addition to the paper box
 manufactory of Munson & Co. on William street.
