New Addition for The News.

Among the new buildings to be
erected in Norfolk this spring will be
a large brick addition to The Daily
News building.
The new structure, made necessary
by the constantly growing business of
the Huse Publishing company in all
departments, and particularly in the
book binding and fine printing depart
ments, will be Of brick, two stories
high plus the basement, will extend
forty feet east of the present News
building and will turn north at the
rear wall of the Auditorium with an
ell running eighteen feet in that direc-
ton. This will make the new addi.
ton forty feet long and forty feet wide
at the rear. The stage entrance to
the Auditorium will be placed in the
east end of the theater.
Plant Already Employs Forty.three.
The new addition will make The
News in all its departments a still
more important factor in the construc-
tive upbuilding of Norfolk. The plant
already employs forty-three persons,
many Of whom are men with families.
Besides the forty-three employees
here, The News maintains special
agents in Chicago and New York city.
New Heat Plant for Theater.
Along with other improvements be-
ing made by this company, will be the
installation of a new vacuum heating
plant which will heat both The News
building and the Auditorium.
This new heating system will be a
great improvement in the Auditorium
over the old hot air method, and will
be vastly more SAFE as all possible
danger from fire in the theater will
thus be removed. The change is al.
ready being made and will be com.
pleted before the next attraction at
the Auditorium.
Book 6indery and Prlntery Growing.
The rapid development and growth
of the book bindery and Job printing
department, which is turning out big
contracts for all parts of this state
and parts of other states, is one of
the chief reasons for the new addition
this year.
