mANY NEW ImPROvEmENTs.


 weeks ago are now being completed. Alto gether large number of masons and carpen- ters are still very busy, with prospect of a continuation of employment until severe cold weather comes. By the way, speaking of the coming winter, one of our prominent citizens who has long made close and generally accu- rate weather observations and forecasts pre- diets that the coming winter will be an open winter and not @ severe one. He bases his opinion or prediction on the fact that all the storms this fall have cleared up warm warm weather following in each case. Among the new building operations in New Haven are the following, for which Mr. c. U. Kinney, the we'll known mason builder, is the successful contractor. MT. Kinney broke ground few days ago for large three story brick dwelling, to contain nine flats on Wallace street, corner of Kane street, south of Grand avenue. The building is erected for Mrs. Margaret O'Brien, widow of Declan O'Brien, who was 8 well known mas ter stonecutter. The flats will call for 300,- 900 brick and will be substantially equipped and the enterprise is something new for that section, and will no doubt prove paying 1n- vestment, as moderate rents in that section are always in demand, owing to proximity to the clock shop, rubber shop, Mallory, Wheel CT & Co.'s and other large factories. MT. Kin ney also has just begun the erection of new and handsome frame house on Mansfield street for Mrs. E. Dwight, widow of Timothy Dwight, formerly of New Rochelle, N. Y. It is opposite the residence of MT. Henry w. Mansfield, the former Chapel street natter. E. A. Lspham is the joiner. A new barn has just been erected for Mir. Eli Whitney in the rear of his residence on Elm street, cor ner of Orange. It is now nearly finished. David H. Clark did the joiner work. A new and large barn has just been finished by Mir. Kinney for the Smedley Brothers, which much increases their barn and storage room. It is on the site of the building which was burned few weeks ago, and 100000 brick were used in it's construction. Tomorrow the same builder breaks ground on Ward street for frame house for E. w. Genung, the travelling merchant, who owns considera- ble property in that section. He will build it for his own occupation, equipping it with all the modern improvements. Yesterday work was begun by MT. Kinney for the erection of & new two tenement house on Whiting street for B. Rogowski, the Chapel street millinery merchant, next to the block of flats owned by Mr Rogowski; and the same builder has also about finished making repairs in the Porter residence on Hillhouse avenue, which was damaged by fire few weeks ago, and which has been also considerably improved by frescoing. The work on the new resi-
 
 avenue is also well advanced.
 Another factory enlargement is soon to be made in this city. The firm of Nunson & Co.,, the paper box manufacturers, on Brad ley street, corner of William, whose building was damaged by fire few weeks ago, have had plans prepared by MT. Robinson, the ar~ chiteet, for large three story high addition to their premises. It will materially in- crease their room. They expect to build it this season, closing it in before the snappipg cold nights. The addition will be made on the William street side. The contracts are not yet awarded.
 Mir. Osborn, the Church street natter, is having plans prepared for the erection of handsome dwelling on Olive street on part of the vacant lot near St. John street next the residence of Dr. Cremin, now occupied by David H. Clark, the builder. The new house will probably be erected this season.
 MT. David H. Clark, the builder, has just completed fine $5,000 barn in Springfield, Mass, for Mir. Fennessy, son-in-law of Phi lando Armstrong of this city.
 Henry Austin & Son have let the contracts for Michael Downey's new block on Grand avenue to L. v. Treat & Son, masons, for $5, 500, and Johnson Bros., carpenters, for $5, 500.
 John Conlan will build John Gallaghers two houses on Pearl street for $5, 800.
 T. P. Dickerman will erect two story brick and stone residence on Whalley ave nue, l.. w. Robinson architect.
 Patrick McKenna will erect two story brick stable eight stalls, on Franklin street. l.. V. Treat & Son masons and D. H. Clark joiner L. V. Treat will erect four story brick and stone block on Meadow street, Box 50, two stores and two flats, finished in nat ural woods. It will have tin roof, galva- nized iron cornices, dumb walters, electric bells, etc.
 The new Derby depot and the freight house will be soon finished. The depot stands on the corner of Commerce and Silver streets, fronting Commerce. Smith and SperTy are the builders Every day scores of people view the improvements that are being made in the vicinity. The depot is two stories high, and the first floor is being finished in hard wook. It is as yet undecided to what use the second story will be put, although ultimately. when the business of the road de- mands it the officers of the road officials will be put there. Being large and commodious. it could have been used as hall for political meetings.
 On the corner of Water and Commerce streets stands the freight depot. Major Maher, the contractor, is now engaged in finishing it. The building is one story high with a peaked roof It is 100 feet long and about 40 wide. Considerable space intervenes between the freight and passenger depots, and it has been decided to fill up good share of it by mov- ing the old passenger depot into the space, thus making @ more attractive front for the freight building. It will be only shortly be- fore the old depot which the people have seen so long on Water street will be there no more.
 There will still be enough space left be- tween the two depots to give room for two tracks, one for passenger trains, the other for freight cars. A platform 200 feet long will be erected for the landing of freight at the western end of the freight depot. It will T7u ha autira 1anOth 0f fha dAT1Of and about 150 feet beyond.
