New Election Bill Is Passed by the
MARYLAND Senate.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January 6.-Under a
suspension of the rules the senate yes
terday passed the bill repeating the VIII
son ballot law and substituting in it's
place a modified form of the general
election law of the state, which prevails
in Baltimore city and fourteen counties.
The bill was also given its first reading
in the house of delegates and referred to
the committee on elections. 1t will be
given its second reading today. after
which the legislature will adjourn until
Monday, when the bill will be passed.
AS was expected, the republicans OPP
posed the new election law and advocated
the passage of the general election law,
including party designations, for the en-
tire state, as recommended by the Reform
League.
When the democratic bill, which was in
troduced by Senator BoSley of Dorches-

SERIES OF APARTMENTS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Harry Wardman, Builder, Con-
Quoting Large Enterprise on
R Street Northwest.

One of the largest building enterprises
now going on in the city is on the south
side of r street northwest beginning
at 18th street and extending nearly to
14th street The long frontage is to be
occupied by group of apartment
houses, seven in number. Three of the
seven buildings have already been COM
pleted, as far as the exterior walls are
concerned The walls of two others
are about half up, and the foundations
are ready for the sixth building of the
series.
Each building has a frontage OF good
width, an entrance in the center and
apartments on each side, provision be-
ing made for many suites of rooms of
varying size. All of the buildings are
four stories in height, with bay pro-
jections, and stand detached, with lawns
on each side. Variety is given to the
group by the use of bricks of different
colors for the walls, so that some have
walls of gray. others of brown. while
others have red brick laid with white
joints.
The interior floors and staircases are
made of concrete. The floor beams are
reinforced concrete.

because of the convenience Of access to
the railroad, and the saving in labor and
in time in shifting the mails from the
cars to the post office. Electric trucks
will run over a bridge between the Union
station and the new building. thus giving
direct connection between the mailing
room of the post office and the concourse
of the station.
Just now there is no sign of a building.
A board fence has been built around the
site, and within the Enclosure two steam
shovels are at work clearing away great
bank of earth which not so very long ago
was piled into place in order to give the
necessary height to the plaza of the sta
ton. The earth made fill some thirty
feet in height.
When the necessary depth has been Sc
cured in the excavation the footing for
the foundations will be made by building
concrete piers. 1t is supposed that this
preliminary work will be completed about
May /, and then the steel frame work of
the superstructure will be started.
