Representative Cooper is planning to
secure an additional appropriationby con-
gress for the federal building here. The
appropriation as it was when the contract
was let called for $4,000, and Represen-
tative Cooper will ask that it be increas-
ed to $4,000. The original plans pro-
vided for wooden wainscoating, and it is
the intention of Congressman Cooper, if
he can secure the added appropriation,
to have this changed to marble There
are also several other desirable changes
to be made in the building, all of which
will add to its beauty and also to its sta
bility.
The plant of the Isabel Manufacture
ing company was almost glutted by fire
Friday night and loss of about $4,000
was sustained. The fire started in the
basement of the plant and extended
throughout the building. The greater
part of the loss will be by smoke and
water The company manufacturers
waists, skirts and suits. The plant is
one of the leading industries of the city,
giving employment to about seventy-tive
hands. The loss is estimated at between
$4,000 and S25 O00 covered by insurance
of about two thirds that amount. Man
ager F Taggard of the company says
the plant will be rebuilt.
City Clerk Badger has completed his
IF no nf no nv hon
and site up to date as asked for by the
Municipal League. He has found that
including everything, site, building, fur
ent time amounts to about $4,000 Of
this sum Rawson & Son have received
80, and still have something over
$500 due them. The site cost $4,000 and
A w Rush, the architect, received in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for his services,
which bring the cost of the site and
building to about $4,000. The balance
of the sum is for fittings, furnishings,
coal, janitor hire and incidentals. The
public library when completed will cost
about 1000, which includes building
and site, so there is some difference in
the cost of the two buildings.
The GAINESVILLE Street Railway COM
pany filed with City Clerk Badger du-
plicate copy of the annual report of the
company to be made to the railroad COM
missioner of the state, and the report
shows that there is deficit of $3,O57.O3
charged for the year. The report says
the company owns and operates seven
miles of track and switches within the
city. The company has $4,000 of com
mon stock on the line and the bonded
Indebtedness is $4,000, while there is
also an additional S42,525.11 of debts.
During the past year the company re-
ceipts we're S12,032.90, and they have
paid out for operating expenses, Sl5,O89.-
93 The report also shows that the COM
pany has paid no interest on either
bonded or other Indebtedness, nor has it
declared dividend. The amount charg
ed up for the Improvement on line, as
shown in the report, was S21.OO, which
seems a small amount for the work done
on Milton avenue.
