Kenyon Plans Completed.

Mr. Walkers announcement is Of the
greatest importance. in view of the con-
templated improvements of the Kenyon
hotel property across the street at Main
and Second South streets. The Herald
announced several weeks ago that plans
were being drawn for practically new
hotel structure on the site OF the present
Kenyon structure. These plans provide
for an eight or nnie-stOry building of
modern construction. The building will
b. built in TWO separate wings, the Second
South street wing being built first and
the business of the Kenyon carried on
there while the Main street wing is being
constructed The Kenyon corner is owned
by O. J. Salisbury.
Ii was reported yesterday that Mr.
Heinze had made an offer on this corner
and on the Gift house corner at Main
and Third South streets. Local represen-
tatiVes of the copper magnate, however,
last night denied the report.
While the ultimate construction OF the
proposed Walker building has up To date
been simply "A matter of getting around
to it," as the big operators put it. the
dc finite announcement of decision TO
build within the next twelve months
coming a this time. promises to have
/ big influence on the local realty market
and will in all prObabiiity add 10 the

situation Of the city.
