]. PHI. RIM of Boston, architect of
the Battle monument, has been in t6 yn,
recartl-, ou business one part of which
was to look over the monument. He
found it in Irime condition. We are
glad to hear, also, that Mr.. Rim is soon
to move into the finest suite of offices,
for architects use, in Boston. This is
made necessary because of his widely ex.
tending business. 1t may BIZ of int est
to our readers to knowthat the contracts
for the cluster of new buildings, in and
about Tufts college, have been awarded
to Mr.. Rim. These include the Metcalf
dormatory for women, Barnum's muse
UNI, Bobinson's school of engineering,
ETC., each one to cost several hundred
thousand dollars. Then in State work
he is now erecting the State Normal
school at Salem, Mass, to cost S300,O00
and the one at Pittsburgh, Penn. An ell
egant structure for L. P. Ross of Roch-

Marshall of Buffalo, n. Y, are going up.
With all these, besides the regular work,
one can see the large dimensions to
which his business has grown. Benning-
