New Catholic Church.

1t has been well understood for some
time that a new Catholic church would
soon be. erected on Mellen street. The lot
owned by Bishop Healy, on which it was
proposed to place the church, was on the
westerly side of Mellan street, one lot
from Cumberland street, on the side next
to Congress street. Gen. Fessenden owns
the lot on the corner of Mellen and Cum
berland streets, between this property
and Cumberland street.
An arrangement has now been made by
Mr.. M. F. Hammond, so that Mr.. Ham
mond and Gen. Fessenden acquire the lot
on which it had been planned to place
the new church. In exchange for this
parcel of land, lot has been secured for
Bishop Healy on the southeasterly corner
of Sherman and Mellen streets. This
latter lot was owned by Henry DeeriEg
and Alice P. Anderson and contains
rs. 600 square feet, while the other lot ex-
changed for this had about Is, 900 square
feet in it.
The new church will accordingly be
erected on this large corner lot, probably
fronting on Mellen street and extending
back on Sherman street. The new lot is
much better for the purpose for which it
is intended, being considerably larger
and q corner lot The new church will
doubtless be fine structure and an or
nament to this growing part of the city.
