HeaIev Ruildina Plats Out.

Plats Of the Healey Building, show
ing a typical floor. have been sent out
in the mails 10 prospective tenants.
There are approximately 80 offices of
various sizes to each floor above the
second, the first and second being
subject to a somewhat different ar
rangement. Three elevators are on
each side Of a wide elevator hall in
the portion Of the building which is
nearest to Broad street. The Corri-
doris on each floor are nine feet wide.
Each Office is outside
Although many inquiries have been
made for space in the Healey Build
ing, 1t has not been possible until the
charts were out to show how the
structure will look, and even now it
is still impossible to pilot would be
tenants through the building. In about
so days, it Is thought, the elevators
viii be running, and that people who
are interested can see for themselves
the exact arrangement
Terra Gotta on the building has been
laid on three sides as high as the six
teenth story, and on the fourth side
a high as the fifteenth. Three more
days of uninterrupted work should
make II possible to complete this part
Of the Job. F1utelike columns Of
terra Gotta are a feature OF the struc-
ture.
