Harry King TO Add Another Stery to al
Building at Fifth and Snipley Strssts.

Harry King TO Add Another Story to al,
Bunaiug at Fifth and SIMPLIFY Streets.
The insurance having been adjusted,
Harry King, proprietor of Kings Hotel,
at Fifth and Shirley streets, ia having
plans made for extensive Improvements
to the building. 1t is to be made four
stories high, front and hack, mansard
roof to take the place of the shingle
roof which was destroyed during fire
few weeks ago, This will give sew,
eral additional sleeping rooms, which
havo been needed for some time, as
Mr.. King has large and growing
trade with theatrical people. The
building will also be remodeled and
put in tirst-class condition.
Insurance matter was settled yester-
day, when Mr., King forwarded papers
to New York which had been sent him
by the United States Insurance Co,
The Homo Co., also OF New York, with
which he was also Insured, paid its
share OF the loss several days ago. The
delay was duo to the fact that the
anpra;sement Of the loss made by agents
of the Homo and United States com-
panies did not agree, one agent not
knowing that it was against city
ordinance to replace a shinele roof.
This disagreement resulted in the ap-
pointment OF three appraisers. Patrick
Fahoy, Archibald S. Reed and John
Il. Healey, and upon their finding the
award wis made and accepted by Mr..
King.
Ever since the fro Mr.. King has
sustained additional loss during each
rain, US the water entered tho roof and
found its way to other parts of the
building. Ho expects to begin i'm
provements in fow days.

in this case, White & Co., which are
transferable.
After White & Co. have paid for the
bonds, in accordance with their bid, it
might be possible that the City Coun-
