building line the coming summer. In
addition to the construction of the in
terUEban line from Milwaukee, (now
completed as tar as Oconomowoc)
there are numerous bull dings, includ-
ing churches, residences and business
blocks to go UP this season. The pro-
spects are that the present season will
far eclipse the year 1906, which was
the banner year in the history of
Watertown. The street improve
ments this year will be limited and
confined principally to the improve
ment of some of the roads leading in
from the country. There will be no
street paving the coming season, but
plans will be laid for another cam
paign for the year 1908. There have
been rumors that difficulties would
arise between employers and en-
pIoyees this spring. Nothing aside
from these differences can interfere in
making the coming season by far the
best ever experienced IN the good old
city of WatertOWn, which is sure to
DE one of the very best in southern
Wisconsin. outside of the metropolis.
Every citizen of the city should
be loyal to the limit. Speak we'll
of your city and never lose an oppor-
tunity to advertise to the outside
world that Watertown has experien-
ced transformation scene during the
past few years. Ii there are any
residing in the city who do not feel
justified in shouting the praises of
the good old town, for heavens sake,
don't knock. In fact, move out.
Conditions here do not warrant the
existence in the city of any OF the
anvil chorous of knockers Hold it up
rs your ideal home city.
One of the principal structures
to grace the city the present season
will be the new ST. Johns $50, 900
! church, the contract for which was let
last Saturday evening and approved
the following day. This is to replace
the old structure on North Fourth
street, work upon which will be COM
menced as soon as the old church can
| be RACED
The English M. E. church congre-
cation have also given the contract for
the erection of new $12,000 church
! to replace the old structure at the
corner of Nam and Fifth streets,
which is being RACED at the present
| time to make room for the new which
| Will be credit to the congregation
and to the city.
Another notable improvement to be
made during the season of 1907, is the
erection of shops on North Water
street by Biefeld & Co, an expansion
in their business that will entail an
expenditure of $4,000 This building
will be of steel construction and work
upon the same will be commence soon.
The promoters of the new ST..
Mary's hospital are certainly TO be
commended for their enterprise, which
is receiving the encouragement of the
public. Although the hospital was
only opened last fall, it is already not
only taxed to it's capacity, but it has
peen necessary to refuse admittance
to many. Drs. c.. J. Habhegger and
7. F. Shinnick of this city, and DR.. F.
Eichelberg of Reeseville, the promoters
of the enterprise, have already found
it necessary to enlarge and Architect
Frank L. Lindsay has drawn plans for
an addition, which will about double
the capacity, work upon which will
be commenced just as soon as the
weather will permit. The cost of the
new addition will be about $4,000
One of the interested physicians in
speaking uf the improvements to be
made at the hospital, said: eyes,
We are to erect an eight room addition
to the hospital and also propose to
establish training school for nurses.
Our limited room has prevented us
from handling certain class of cases.
Our operative cases have been very
successful. They have been varied
and include everything from minor
cases to the most difficult known to
the profession and in all cases the
results have been good. We expect
to break ground for the new addition
just as soon as the weather will per-
nit. 1t is the plan to incorporate
under the laws of the state in the
establishment of the training school.
So far. we have found it necessary
from time to time to employ outside
nurses, which Will not be necessary
when the change referred to is made.
We are we'll satisfied with the success
of the hospital thus far and feel CRATE
full to those of our citizens who have
encouraged the enterprise financially
or otherwise.
John SpIegelhoff, of the real estate
firm of Conner & Spiegelhoff. has had
plans drawn by Mr.. Lindsay for a
new residence on North Fourth street,
which will be erected at cost of
about 81. 700. 1t will be a frame build
ing and work on the same will start
as soon as the weather will hermit. 1t
