The Gospel Trumpet Company's new
building, located north of the Fostorla
Glass Company's plant, will soon be
ready for occupancy. Yesterday the
Register man paid a visit to the build
ing, which will be the largest of the
kind in the Ohio Valley. The building
proper will have 104 rooms, many of
which are very large. They are all so
arranged that every comfort possible
can be had by all concerned. The
structure is three stories high, has a
basement and attic, which of course
makes more room. On the first floor
will be the dining, reception, school,
kindergarten, kitchen, laundry and bath
rooms. One separate room, 14x16 feet,
will be used for the refrigerator, and is
built for this purpose. The floor is
chapel is also located on this floor, and
is constructed so as to accommodate
over 800 people. On the second and
third floors are the sleeping apart
ments, and each room is fitted for
steam heat, electric lights, etc. The
building was designed by Robert e.
Byrum, who is quite an architect. He
is also manager of the construction of

work that the buildings is so far under
Roadway. All rooms are we'll lighted,
ventilated and heated, the steam heat
being used. A large force of men have
been at work constantly, and it win

building will be ready for occupancy.
The committee appointed by the
county court to examine the county
clerks office vault have made a partial
examination. II. w. Hunter, j. ID.
Kelley and Robert Newton comprise the
committee, and while they have not
made their report to the court, it will
be in substance that the vault Is fire
proof. 1t is hardly large enough, and
the gentlemen will recommend the
room adjoining be made a part of it.
BY doing this an additional wall would
have to be made, so that the room
would be fire proof. In regard to the
wall between the two rooms, the COM
mittee is of the opinion that the vacant
space is made for the hot air and is not
filled with sand, as was supposed. The
report, however, will be reduced to
writing and presented at the next meet
ing, which is on the 18th of the month.
