the NOfk VIII soon oe completed. Windows. doors. timSars, plumbing brick. stone and every other possible salvage from the big structure are being earted away to all points Of the compass to begin a new exist ence in modern structures Even the laths are saved for further use. Sec ond hand building material dealers in the Brpnx. Brownsville. Queens and New Jersey are carting brick and other parts Of the structure to their yards, to sell them again to small builders. The blue Quincy Granite blocks forming the facade of the building are going in truck loads to a Brooklyn firm. which will convert the blocks into monuments and tomb stones.
 The company which bought tie hotel from the city for SS.Ss3 sold the granite for S5O0O, and is now dispcs- ing of the brick at the rate Of five and six dollars a lead. It figures there are between 800 and 900 loads. or approximately 100000 bricks in the old structure, which is being re- moved so that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway can be carried unde: it. All of this material will doubtless enter into the construction of hund reds of small buildings in the city's outskirts.
