BUILDERS AT WORK ON
TWO NEW RESIDENCES
Kennedy Bros. to Construct
Houses on Connecticut Ave-
nue. Near the Bridge.

Work was started Yesterday by Ken
nedy Brothers. operative builders, upon
the construction of two houses in the
rapidly developing residence section just
beyond the new bridge on Connecticut
avenue Building will be pushed on these
houses. and it is planned to have them
ready for the market early next spring.
The site is the first block north of
the junction of Calvert street and Con-
necticut avenue.
In a general way the two houses will
be similar in design To the residences
which the firm recently built in WoQdley
place, in the same square, the builders
having decided to follow the Spanish mis-
sion type of architecture, which they used
in houses on Noodley place, and also on
Lamont and 18th streets northwest. The
houses will be semi-detached and will be
three stories in height, containing eleven
rooms. reception hall and three baths.
Oae feature in their construction will lie
in the use of what ordinarily would be
the third-fioor back room as a large sleep
ing porch. The general arrangement of
the interior contemplates placing the par
Tor, dining room, kitchen and pantry on
the first floor; large living room. eX-
tending across the entire front. two cham
hers and bath on the second floor and
three chambers. the sleeping porch and
bath on the third floor. The basement
will contain Il servants room and BATH

government to rebuild the Chambly road
which is popular because OF its scenic
advantages. 1t will be known as the
international highway.
The King Edward highway will be
about forty miles in length and will cost
about $4,000 the estimate being $500
a mile. The government is doing the work
itself but the international will probably
be let on contract to determine WHICH
system is more economical.
Twelve separate plants of road-making
machinery have been set up along the
road, and So.O0 loads of stone have been
hauled and distributed in twenty-four
large piles. ready for the crushers. The
experiment includes forty stone wagons,
eleven stone crushers, seven engines,
thirteen road graders and seven watering
carts.
The new road will be macadam all the
way with some of the sections covered
with a waterproof coating-a comseeS-
ton of tar and sand There VIII be con-
crete culverts Construction work has
been started on five sections. two at La
cole, one at ST Philippe. one at Napier
vile and one at st. Constant.

COUNTIES SEEK STATE AID.
PENNSYLVANIA Municipalities Inter
ested in Good Roads Building.

Forty-seven Of the counties or Penn
sylyania have asked for state aid in the
construction Of roads aggregatins almost
40 miles in length in less than year.
and as rapidly as estimates can be made
and the approval by county commission
ers and local authorities given to these
estimates the state highway department
will take the steps necessary TO award
contracts. Many of the applications for
the assistance of the commonwealth on
basis of one-half the cost. as provided
nv the Sproul law of 1911, have not been
followed up by officials in the districts
nronosed to be improved. with the result
that work of lettering highways has been
retarded.
The provisions of the act of 1911 are SIM
liar to those of previous good laws. except
that where boroughs or townships unite
with counties in asking for state aid
they are to receive but 30 per cent instead

feature of the earlier laws was retained
in the Sproul law, which, however. IS
best known because of its provision for
system of main state highways. In
other words, the means of obtaining
state aid in construction Of roads is in
force as much today as it was five years
ago. only the terms have changed. Where
applications have been made for con-
struction of roads on the basis of one

Bold Move Made.

Finally a very bold move was made. de-
spite much criticism. A large tract Of
land in the heart of the tenderloin was
purchased The character of. the prop
erty surrounding the site made it cheap.
1t was central, easily approached from
all sides, and on one side of it ran Swan
creek, a small but navigable stream
which runs through the heart of Toledo.
At this point it should be said
that since the establishment Of the mar
ket the character of that part of the city
is rapidly changing. Police frightened
lines about questionable places. Re-
movals from the district were numerous
on the part of those inhabitants who had
previously held undisputed sway in that
region The market will effect the re-
generation of that part of the city and
consequent large increase in property
values.
After the site mad been purchased, E. 0.
Falls of Nasehy Tower, Toledo. architect,
who has been identified with much civic
betterment in Toledo. was selected to
draw the plans for the market house.
The market commission had recommend
ed a market house with an auditorium
over it. Abandonment of this plan by
council threw the designing of the mar
ket almost entirely upon the architect.
1t was designed primarily to facilitate
the business for which it was intended.
That having been successfully accom-
plished the architect gave to the struc-
ture such artistic beauty as was possi-
Bile.
The entire area covered by the build
ing and under roof is 42O by 2S6 feet
Three hundred and six selling spaces
have been provided for producers, besides
7GO lineal feet of loading piers for grocers
and hucksters.
