work done is Of high grade and
speaks for itself.
Robinson & Hansen, the

An Improvement to the City Worthy of Notice II

What is perhaps one Of the
most noticeable improvements
that has been made to Bayfield,
street property during the past
season and one which is adding
beauty to the appearance of
the main street is being accom-
plished by 0. A. Lamoreaux who
recently purchased the property
known as the Meehan corner
and which has been leased to
Robinson & Hansen who intend
to open up the the Lamoreaux
hotel within the next two weeks.
The work which is now near
ing completion has been under
way during the past two months
and as the finishing touches are
being put on, both inside and
out, the building is taking on
added beauty every day.
Mr.. Lamoreaux never does
things by halves and when it
was announced that he intended
to make a beauty spot of this
corner everyone expected some
thing nice.
The first work undertaken was
the repair of the exterior Of the
building. When this work was
completed the painters began
the work of transforming the
building into a beauty. James
Plunkitt, painter and decorator,
had charge of this work and that
he has done good job shows
for itself. The building is paint
ed a beautiful shade of brown
with light yellow trimmings
which makes it stand out, adding
beauty to that corner of the city.
The paint for the building was
furnished by Amos M. Hansen,
who carries a fine line Of paints
in connection with his furniture
store.
The contract was then let by
Mr.. Lamoreaux to the Washburn
Plumbing & Heating company,
George Fluck, Prop, for the in
stallation of a modern steam
heating plant in the building and
annex. This plant is guaranteed
to heat the building in the cold
est weather and is large enough
to permit extensions to the build
ing. The plant has already been
installed and heat was turned on
in the building for the first time
last Saturday night. Mr.. Fluck's
men are now busy covering
pipes, painting radiators and
putting the finishing touches on
the plant. It. is the opinion OF
all who have seen the heating
system that it il a peach" and
the work is a credit to the con-
Germ putting the same in.
William Carson, contractor and
builder, has had charge Of the
work being done for Mr.. Lam
oreaux and there is not a nick or
