A Threc-Storx Structure.

represented to the committee that If
three-story instead of two-story build
ing is erected. it will take a lease of
the entire second floor. The money
from this and from rentals on the first
floor and basement, the committee fig
nres. would make 1t worth the while
and much better investment, than the
two-story structure first planned.
Local architects, among them Ross,
and Edwards, have been ask
ed to submit preliminary sketches and
estimates for .three-story structure.
1t is estimated that, such building
will cost in the neighborhood of $4O,-
600. Tracy r. Bangs has offered the
site for $4,000. There was some talk
of another site on North Third street
near the N. P.Adepot, but it seemed to
be the prevailing opinion that the
Bangs location would be more advan--
tageous and gives returns on the in
vestment sooner than the other.

holding on to them until the price of
land advanced he realized. a large
