GREAT AMOUNT OF
 BUILDING IN CITY This Spring and Summer to Witness Great Activity in Building Improvements. SURE WORK, $2oo,ooo lp Addition to These Buildings, Others Likely to Be Erected Will Send Total to Be Spent Here Soon
 to $3OO,O0O.
SURE WORK, $2oo,ooo

Members of local labor unions, especially those engaged in the build ing trades, are expressing great optimism over the prospects of the coming spring and summer being one of the busiest and most prosperous in the history of Pine Bluff. passing their opinion on the great amount of building work already decided upon, Or wei advanced in the planning.
 Some of the building operations which are already known to be planned for the very near future, are as follows:
 Erection of the new Masonic tenn pie, at a cost of about $40,0O0.
 Erection of new Elks home, at a cost of about $40,000.
 Repairs and enlargement of the Speer-Byrd building. damaged in the big fire of last week, to cost approxi mateiy $20,000.
 Remodelling new store building for William Rosenzweig, at cost of about $1O,OO0.
 ; Additions to and remodeling of the union passenger station. now under !. way, at a cost Of about s15.0OO.s tf F
 Repairs and remodeling of four Main street stores, now under way, at an aggregate cost of about $10,- 900.
 Thirty new cottages and other small homes, to cost, each, about $1,- 500, aggregating about $45,O0o.
 Building trades workers say the grand total thus to be expended will reach S20O, 900, and that the items rN~N ~aw w&oir1 fioc Yy1snN abilities, they say, include the erec- tion of new theatre building. at ar estimated cost of $3O,00O; three large residences that will cost in the aggrs- gate about $25.000; and several addi- tions to manufacturing plants now in operation, which will add about $35,- 900 more to the total amount to be expended.
 There operations, it is expectec. will furMish work for hundreds of bricklayers, carpenters, paperhangers and painters, throughout the spring, summer and fall season. During the past two months considerable work in the way of repairs, remodelling and ether such improvements has been done here, the amount expended being estimated at from $25000 to $35,O00. over and above the amount spent for the erection of number of new homes of the smaller class, in the residence sections Of the city.
 Common laborers will have plenty of work during the summer, par ticularly on the street improvement work which has already been decid- ed upon. Pine street now is being paved with asphaltic concrete, and when that work is finished Cherry street, Fifteenth avenue and. Laurel streets will be, reached by the paving crews. Repairs of an extensive na- ture are to be made also to Main street and second avenue, and the street railway company is to double track it's Cherry street line to a con- siderable extent, all of which will re- quire labOrers.

 for Convention.
TRAVELLERS ARE BUSY
Members of Local U. [. T. Council and Pine Bluff Pharmacists Completing Plans for Entertainment of ,
 State Associations.

Notwithstanding the destruction by fire of the Elks lodge building here this week, members of the order have decided there shall be no change in the plans for the holding order here in May, and arrangements for the meeting are being pushed without delay or hindrance.
 The spacious and handsome new building of Sahara Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, as we'll as the handsome new quarters of the Pine Bluff arie of Eagles, have been rendered the Elks, for their use and this allows the local lodge of Elks to be able to offer the visit ing delegates even larger quarters for business and social sessions than were contained in the Elks home. Plans for the convention have al- ready taken tangible form, and there have been scores of messages re- ceived since the fire, from lodges in all parts of the state, to the effect that the lodges will come strong" to show their appreciation of the pluck and gameness of the local lodge, in determining to make good on the in- vitation. Several of the lodges will be accompanied by brass bands, among these being Little Rock, Stuttgart, and possibly Hot Springs and Cam den.
 Plans for the annual meeting of the state pharmacists are also well advahced, local members of the organization reporting that the indi- cations are a record -brdaking at tendance will be had. This conven- tion will continue four days days, and it is expected the official pro- gram will be ready to give out to the public within the next ten days or two weeks.
 Arrangements for the annual meet ing of the United Commercial Tray elers are also we'll advanced. The Elks meet here May 19 and 20, and the Travellers open their session May 21, lasting two days, hence it will be four straight days of convention in this city.

ENGLAND'S WAR
 BILL, 2 BILLION Premier Asquith to Ask Parliament Tomorrow to Sanction New Credit.
10 MILLION A DAY
John Bulls Expenses During Year Nearing End, Nearly Three Times as Great as Those of Last Year
 of Peace.

London. Feb. 27.-England's war bill is approaching the glgant1c figure of two billion dollars.
 Premier Asquith will ask parlia- ment on Monday to sanction two new votes for a credit which will bring expenditures for the first eight months of the war to $1,810,O00, ,00O. the first vote is for $185, 100000 to finance the closing days of the finan- cial year ending March 31. This Is in addition to previous credits of $500,- 0O0,OOO and SLIPS, 100000.
 The greatest proportion of the war funds is being raised by loans, pro- viding s1,17O,OO0,O00, the new taxa tion being only $77,500,000.
 The treasury will have a margin of only about $430,000,000 to begin the new financial year, and another large war loan will soon be impera- tive.
 It is understood Lloyd-George will sanction all issue after Easter. The estimated national expenditure 1or the unprecedented gear now drawing to a close is nearly three times the sum actually spent in the last com plete year of peace.
 The second vote is for $1,25o, ,ooo,- 900 to finance the first few months of the new financial year. This is the largest single amount yet demanded by the government. This vote is ex pected to finance the war the better part of six months.
 IA full year of the war would cost, the country $2,715,O00,000 above ordi- nary expenditures, or about $3,750,- O00,O0O in all, at this rate. National expenditures are more than $10,000,- 900 a day and extraordinary war ex penditures roughly $7,500,00O daily.
