We have heard nothing recently of
the proposed building on the vacant
ground of the BeidIer block. This is
one of the most important spots now
vacant in the city, and in view of the
fact that the State Line Avenue be-
tween Broad street and the postotiice
building, is now one of the most
travelled thoroughfares in the city, a
handsome structure such as should,
and as We understood was to, be con-
structed on this ground, would prove
an ornament to the city. as well as a
means of excellent remuneration to
the owner.
