Two Handsome Churches

Greeley's reputation as city of
churches will be greatly enhanced
when two structures now in course
of construction are completed. The
Roman Catholic church, at the in
tersection of Ninth avenue and
Twelfth street will be one of the
handsomest churches in the state
when finished. 1t was designed by
Wayne B. Patterson, the architect,
in Gothic style. The front is being
constructed of gray stone and the
rear will be finished in gray pressed
brick. The brickwork was started
Wednesday and it is hoped to have
the building ready for final dedica-
ton the first of next year. The
church will have a seating capacity
of $50 and will be handsomely fur
nished. The estimated cost is $685.
900.
While slightly less pretentious in
design and construction, the First
Christian church being erected at
Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street,
built in Colonial style of gray brick,
will we'll grace it's position as one
OF the citys many corner churches.
The superstructure will be faced with
gray pressed brick, with stone trim
mings. The roof will be unique in
that art metal will be used. This
building, it is estimated, will cost
about $4,000 and will have seat
ing capacity of 1,100. o. C. Paul
son, contractor, states that it will
be completed during next January

solid businesslike aspect and has be-
come one Of the best appearing Sec
tions of the downtown center. With
the completion of the ornamental
front OF the Airdome about two
weeks ago and the added newness
OF the other structures the street
now presents an imposing appear

Probable Candidates Already Loom
ing Up.

A fierce political struggle for
nominations will be Witnessed
next spring when the primaries
for county officers will be held,
and the early man will be the
winning man. Mr. Ohio Cald-
well is already spoken of as the
probable democratic candidate
for County Superintendent of
schools. Mr. E. G. Pruitt. the
present incumbent, is likely to
be a candidate for reelection.
He has held the position with
marked credit and the people
have nothing against him.
