Nothing definite has been done as
yet towards securing a permanent
home for the Merchants and Me-
chanics' bank, except to decide that It
will have a home of its own, and no
plans have as yet been made for re-
building the structures destroyed by
the explosion, further than that the
building owned by the Lobeck estate,
and occupied by the Lorenz drug store.
is to be replaced
President j. ]. Williams, of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics bank, stated
yesterday that the directors are de-
voting much of their time and atten-
tion to the subject OF a new building,
but as yet have not come to any con-
clusion in the matter of location or
style of building. He believed, how
ever, that the bank would have a
building of it's own before long, and
that 1t would be exclusively a bank
building.
The story that Casey Bros. would
put up a building for the bank at the
corner Of Lackawanna and wyoming
avenues was without foundation, Mr..
Williams said. The site is too valu-
able. he explained, to be devoted to a
building for the accommodation of a
single tenant, such as the bank would
be, demanding as it will an exclusive
home. Several sites have been offered
and several others that are very de-
sirable are being negotiated for. The
directors will meet Saturday, as usual,
and the question of location will be
discussed and possibly decided.
LOT ON THE MARKET.
President James A. Linen, of the
First National bank, representing the
Blair estate, when asked yesterday as
to what would be done to replace the
building destroyed by the explosion,
said the Blair executors had decided to
make an effort to sell the lot, and
would leave it on the market for some
little time before taking up the matter
of rebuilding. At all events, he said,
the high price of building materials
makes it inexpedient to make a con-
tract just now, and even if the lot was
not to be placed on the market, 1t is
not likely a contract for a new build
ing would be discussed at once. After
the wreckage is cleaned up will be
plenty time enough to consider the
matter of new building, Mr.. Linen con-
cluded.
