 Whether this report is true could not be ascertained but # is understood that the Eliasberk Brothers intend to make some improvements on their property at the intersection of these named strenEs.
 The property owned sy the Eiias- berg Brothers at, the corner of Ala bama and Lauderdale streets is oppo- site the federal building site and is also just across Lauderdale street from the court house. It is one of the most valuable corners in the city. The owners of this property have had uns der consideration for some years the feasibility of razing the one stofy building on, the corner which was for mer1y used as Synagogue and erect- ing thereon an ofiice building.
 The contractors of the city are of the opinion today that the plans for the structure have been ordered. They base this belief upon the fact that an architect has lately taken measure ment of the lot.
 The work on the Federal building which Is on the opposite corner from where it Is stated the Eliasbergs will erect the new building. Is progressing rapidly and all of the exterior work has been completed and the building presents a most attractive appearances. In the Interior work upon the second and third. stories of the building is also progressing fast and-it is thought thas all of the interior work wIn he com pieted within the next two months and that the building will be ready for oc- eupancy by the government
