THE NEEDED ENTERPRISE.

In Investment Company Which Will
Build Houses on n Large Scale.
The Enterprise Investment Company,
a charter for which has just recently
been granted, is making arrangements
to start operations at once.
The charter provides for the collec-
ton of monies from its shareholders in
monthly installments, and to invest the
same in real estate, sell the same, to
build houses, stores, factories ana
structures of any description, and sell
or rent the same, either to its members
or others. The object of the company,
however, at this time is to furnish
houses for the accommodation of me-
chanics and others, and to sell or rent
them on easy terms. It's the intention
of this company to supply these accom-
modations at all points throughout Vlr-
pinia where the best inducements are
| offered.
It is well-lknown fact that in many
| places industries are now in course OF
erection that will require a number of
hands, and in no way, as yet, have steps
been taken to provide homes for their
employees. This company, therefore,
proposes to crest houses at these points
to supply the demand. -,
The capital stock of the company will
be $500, 600, divided into shares of SlOC
each, payable in monthly lnstallmcnts
of 81 each. Those desiring to subscribe
to the above company can do so by ap
plying, either in person or by letter, tt

THE FIREMEN'S new BUILDING.
To be Erected on the Third
Ward Market Site.
The Building Will Contain Five Market
Stalls, and be Well Fitted Up for the
Use of the Firemen-No Lot In That
Section Available, and This Location
Is Central and One of the Best In the
Ward.

A meeting of the public property
committee was called yesterday evening
for the purpose of making some recon-
mendation to The Council regarding site,
plans, etc, for the new fire building to
be erected in tho Third ward.
Mcssrs. Graves and Huff were present
and discussed the question at some
length, but Mr.. Woodward being ab-
sent, it was decided to postpone action
until plans and suggestions can be had
from the city engineer.
The committee will, however, make
some recommendations, which, If car
ried out, will greatly improve the public
property in the Third ward. AS it is at
present no site has been secured for the
fire department. a lot in any desirable
locality will cost about $1,000, but the
availability is suggested of the market
house lot, corner of Fourth street ana
East avenue. This lot is 60XlOO feet
and lies lengthwise along Fourth street
A small frame market house was built
on it last year with five stalls.
The committee will recommend the
! erection of u building On this lot. which
will suffice the needs of market ans
= the firemen also.
! They propose to let the building oc
l cupy the entire length of the lot. IL
: the lower portion-about fifty feet-fv
u stalls will be put for market purposes
. The upper end of the lower floor, mex
/ to East avenue, will be devoted to TIL
!, use of the fremen for storing equiv
Il ments and apparatus. The second floo
:. will contain magnificent hall fo
~ meeting purposes. The above propos
= ton has not yet been formulated by tn
u committee, but the matter has bee
% talked over and it is likely they vi
~ reach that conclusion.
IL The site proposed is one of the best
that ward, and cannot fail to give sati
~ faction to those interested. Besid
W this the lot is now owned by the CT
and will save considerable outlay shou
~ it be necessary to purchase a site.
