Description of some of the buildings going
up here this season.


mp here this season.
Few of Island Ponds residents have
any adequate idea OF the amount of
building and improving that is being
done this summer and what is contem-
plated for the months to come. There
could hardly he a state of affairs more
reaSsurlug and satisfactory to those who
already have holdings OF real estate in
town ora more emphatic repoof to the
croakcrs who always exist and are al
ways ready to cry down and belittle any
advancement or promise of advancement.
One of the best buildings that the
present season will see completed is the
new Bartlett block which has already
been described in detail in these columns.
While this buildiug is of course private
enterprise benefit will he derived from

more ways than one of which the inn
proved appearance of Main street will
not be the least. The excavation for
the basement of this building is even
now completed and NJ. b. Ladd has the
contract for the building itself which is
sufficient assurance that it will not only

thorough and satisfactory job in every
particular.
The plans foI new hotel to be built
on the lot opposite-the Stern block have

1t will cost in the vicinity of $4,000
and the specifications call for its com
pletion 10y the first day Of November next
The perspective plan of the house
shows a structure of exceedingly pleas
ing proportions and appearance. 1t is
four stories in height and broad piazzas
run the entire length of the three lower
stories. 1t will be surmounted by hip
roof, SO called, and will have a frontage
of Sc feet on Cross street and be 80 feet

| of the basement floor will be given over
to we'll appointed billiard room, while

proper will be the hotel office, 40 by 90
feet in size. From it the wash rooms,
cloak rooms, ladies reception room and

showed distinct results of their training
for the three years past, and the class
deserve rich credit for the admirable

future expectations of the school in Il

the use of the school, gymnasium and

Sir: The denial on the part of Manager Scribner

Pfckwickian sense. The bill gives the right TO
any company which has been running for term
OF years have certain privileges and rights In
asmuch the Electrical Vehicle Transportation
Company is the only one which has been running
for this number of years. this creates absolute
monopoly in the hands of these people They may
give good as bad service as they choose
ana they certainly have given US bad enough ser
vice IN the past. 1t Is an amendment OF the Cen

should be promptly vetoed by the Governor
Monopolies established by law have been the curse
