Plans and specifications for the
new banking house of the First
National Bank are now being re-
ceived from the several architects
who have asked permission to submit
them. The growing business OF the
Savings Bank and tho
National Bank, which have both here
5ofore occupied the same building,
have made it evident the time
would ultimately come when sep
arate banking rooms would be nee
essary. The matter was hasten
I'd somewhat by the opportunity to
acquire the portion Of the lot adjoining
the present property Of the First
National, made available by the
burning of the Milburn block. While
the new building is not planned upon
lines, it is entirely safe
TO assume that it will be substantial.
1t will present every up-to- date con-
venience for banking purposes, and
will constitute "a handsome addition
TO the business structures Of that part
of the town.
