pairs Is felt because the expense would
be less than at a future date, and It Is
urgent In order to save the building
from increased decay OF the planking
beneath the foundation. The temporary
repairs. until better weather comes,
would consist OF putting the walls on
new stills.
Should the board decide to close the
school building until the repairs have
been completed. temporary school
quarters must be secured. Frank Wen
del, one Of Centres commissioners, will
have that duty to perform. The vacant
rooms In Webster school and Clay an

feared Is n probable panic among the

fiO6E s. MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
~ 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-The Min
neapolis chamber of commerce will
probably receive formal proposition
from Thomas Lowry for the erection
of a new chamber at the corner of
Fourth street and Second avenue, ad-
joining the Guaranty building. Mr..
Lowry ard President c. NJ. .Harring-
ton, of the chamber, are supposed to
be in conference over the matter in
New York city today.
The building problem for the cham
Der has been unsettled for two or three
years. Several propositions have been
considered, but all have been rejected
for various reasons. There is now
pretty unanimous sentiment among
members of the chamber in favor of a
new building, but there is a division
as to whether it shall be built on or
adjoining the present site, or be moved
up town."
The Lowry offer proposes an eight
or nine-story fire-proof building on the
corner of Fourth street and Second
avenue, running down to the Guaranty
building. The site is large, something
like 155x1S5 feet, and the location is
believed by directors of the chamber
who have considered it in advance OF
formal proposition as very desirable.
Nh Lowry had not decided few
days ago. when he left Minneapolis.
to make the proposition, but, at the
request of some members of the cham
ber it will probably be submitted. 1t is
said this proposition will include free
rental to the chamber for twenty-five
years of a trading room and rental
contracts running a long term of yeai
for offices that will be acceptable to the
chamber of commerce. All heating and
janitor service for the trading floor
would be free to the chamber.
The entrances to the building would
be on Fourth street and on Second
avenue. one flight leading from the
street to the trading room. The alley
between the buildings would be va
Gated and the two connected from the
trading floor of the chamber to the
banking floor of the Guaranty building.
SO that customers of the Security and
Northwestern banks would be we'll
favored, while the postoffice would be
easily accessible and other banks than
the two mentioned would be near at
hand.
This is believed to be an outline of
the Lowry proposition.
The chamber has before 1t also plans
for an addition to the present building,
the cost of which would be about $780,
000
