Among the contractors for WOO

on one of which they have commenced
already, mean that the labor of sew
eral large crews Of carpenters will be
steadily employed for the next four
months. The large stable at the rear
of DR.. J. L. Fortier and owned by that
gentleman is being remodeled and fitted
for large double-tenement Eouse. In
addition to this work the firm is about
to commence the building of a fine two
story house on No. Spring street for
Jules Gamache which lot the latter re-
Gently purchased of George A. Kenni-
son. Judging from the appearance of
the building as illustrated by the
architects design, the house will be
one of the finest and most modern
buildings in the city.
George A. Kennison is likewise pre-
pairing to erect Il fine dwelling on the
lot south of the house of William Ed
wards which is on the corner of Spring
and Silver streets. 1t will be 4 mod
ern tWO-story building with stable con-
nected.
Carey & Parent also have the con-
tIdcl buIluIilS Il tWo-Sloiy DulitllfiS
to be worth $3.500 for Victor RObichaud
on Belmont avenue. The ell will rot
be built this season. This firm will
also build a twO-story house on what is
known as the Smith lot on Water
street which contract calls for an ex-
renditure Of $2JOO. Mr.. Carey states
that he has also three more dwellings,
in prospect which he is not in a position
to talk about at the present time.
o. o. Cross of Waterville is another
busy contractor. He is soon to COM
mence on building to be built by him
for Martin Blaisdell on Spruce street
at n cost of $4,000 and another contract
for large three-story building to be
built by Alderman Edmun D. NOyes
on Chaplin street which he is to use
for a private dwelling. This house is
to be built on lot very near to the
NOyes stove foundry and will have a
stable attached. 1t will add much to
that part of the city. which has been
conspicuous Of late years for the rapid
population of it's street. Mr.. Cross is
to practically rebuild the house of
George Paine Of Winslow. The house
is to be thoroughly remodelled. Among
other improvements it will be
furnished with an elaborate dining
room and will be partly surrounded
with a broad piazza. Mr.. Cross is eX-
pectine soon to have the plans COM
pleted for an elegant residence on one
of the East shores of Great Pond
which will be built by Miss Pattee, a
wealthy lady of New York city. at
cost of $4,000. Miss Pattee intends to
occupy the house the year round.

BEAUTIFULLY located as any in Maine.
and has chosen for her habitatiOn
spot surrounded by a topography
where the works of Nature have never
been ill-treated or marred by the hand
of man.
Another glance over in Winslow will
reveal that that town is also alive to
it's possibilities. At the foot of Sand
hill is soon to be erected hose house
for the Winslow fire department which
was organized at the last town meet
ing. 1t will be opposite to the store Of
the Proctor. Bowie & Company. AT
the rear of this will be erected a
dwelling by contractor Thomas Bourke.

cost of $500. The owner of the build
ing will be Adlord POmcrleau. Far
ther up the hill on the lot formerly
owned by Charles Kidder and adjoin-
ing the land on which he lives Mr..
Bourke will build another for Fred
Bourler at a cost of s1100. In addi-
ton to these a new basement is to be
put under the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney schOolhouse, and there is every
prospect that the Reynolds school
building will be thoroughly refitted for
occupancy.
