months yet before the F'ranklin-Street
side will be completed and ready to be
opened.

ton of six-story structure to be known
as the middle section were opened, but
the contract has not been awarded The
bids were as follows: Fuller Construction
Company, S73, ,551; W. A. Chesterman.
sS6, 7O4: John Drever, S75,4O4. II the

The new dining-room would be in that
portion Of the building to be erected on
the site formerly known as the Pace

stroyed by fire.
