The building is two stories high with a basement, and rests on one of the highest ridges in Fountain Heights. It is built of brick and is of very pretty design.
 No new apparatus will be installed, as the present quarters are fully equipped, and the equipment will be moved to the new building, A lot of new furniture will be installed however The present quar- ters are somewhat cramped and this new building will give all the room that could possibly be needed. and will leave room Observer J. F. Lehman may desire to make.
 The new building Is being constructed at a cost of over $15,0O0 in addition to the cost of the lot The roof will be about on level with the roof of the Title Guarantee building, where the weather instruments are now installed and will also be nearly as high as the crest of Red mountain. The distance to Red mountain is great enough to allow tain, to catch its breath and get to go- ing good again before it reaches the instruments.
