GOO from plans drawn by Bigelow, Wallace &

brick buildings now on the site. This property
was recently bought AT auction by Frances D.
Alvord. and the present negotiations for the
improvement of the premises have been carried
by her representative c. F. Throckmorton
The land and the proposed hotel will represent
outlay Of more than $1,5O0,O00. From what
could be learned yesterday the hotel will be
built Of brick. terra Gotta and stone, with tiled
roof and will be of modern style in every re-

erty owners in Broadway between One-hundred-

strcton on their parcels fronting the blocks.
To carry out successfully this project Mr.. Bar
ney and some other owners have bought control
Of 4UO-foot frontage in all the cross streets. In
other words. the restriction will not only be on
the block fronts. but also adjoining parcels
in the streets and having a frontage of four

tions only high class elevator apartment houses

build a large house for his own occupancy il is
thought that in this the restriction would
be removed by Mr.. Barney and his associates.
II is not expected that the building operations
in this section will he begun much earlier than
next spring. No house can be put up on the
sites owned by Mr. Barney unless approved by
his architect According &c some well known
