 It now seems to have been definitely de- cided that the new Hubinger building will be erected next year. There have been numerous rumors around the city to the effect that the atringency of the money market would delay the erection of the building indefinitely.
 MT. Even Mcintyre, of the firm of Even Mcintyre & Co.,, when interviewed yester- day by COURIER representative, said that the building will be constructed next spring and summer and that he has lease of three floors of the building beginning October l, 1894, and to run twenty years Last July the firm announced that on September it would begin a negotiation sale, and when this announcement was made it was in view of the negotiations which were being made for the rental of the new | building, which is soon to be put up. The building on Chapel street numbered l 834 to $40 was purchased some time ago l by Joseph Hubinger, with the idea of erect | ing an elegant new business building. l This building is St present occupied by l Jeweler Samuel Kirby, DeBussy, Manwar- | ing & Go. and Msrsden 0. Perry.
 The plans for the new building have been drawn by Brown & Austin, the architects, and are now complete. The work of tear ing down the old building will begin on the first of the coming April and the new l structure will be ready for occupancy by the following October.
 The building proper, which will be one of the finest in the city, will be as high ae the Insurance building. A tower or dome l fifty feet in height, made of brass plates | and surmounted by flagstaff, will extend above this. There will be seven stories in | the building. Even Mcintyre 6 Go. will occupy three floors, and three more will be finished off for various purposes. The seventh will be used as garret.
 The height of the building will be about 112 feet, its depth will bs 167 feet, and il will have frontage on Chapel street of 4t feet. The ground floor will be 15 feet 1T height, and the other stories will be about 12 feet high, with the exception of the gar ret, which will not be over or 8 feet. 4 fine cellar will also be under the new build ing. It will be known as the Hubingel building The plans for the finishing ot the ground floor have not as yet been com pleted, but it will be one of the fines stores in New England. The dome ol tower will be of brass plates surmountet with 8 flagstaff. The front of the build ing will be entirely of iron. The building
 will be painted white.
 MT. Mcintyre has been unusually forta
 nate in securing such an eleasnt building
 for his immense business. He is one o
 New Haven's most enterprising and sue
 cessful merchants, and during the eigh
 years in which he has done business il
