Rushing Plans.

Announcement has been made that
work on the foundations for the pro-
posed Arlington Hotel, on Vermont

Oliver j. Sands of Richmond, Va, sec

days ago and conferred with Thomas
w. Power, a consulting engineer of
this city concerning preliminary work
to be done in readiness for the con-
struction of concrete piers for the
structure.
1t is stated that architects are rush.
ing to complete the plans for the build
ing, having both day and night forces

the major part of the Vermont avenue
frontage is to be occupied by the Of
flee building. The north end of the
Vermont avenue frontage and 1 street

hotel. The hotel portion will contain
more than 400 rooms and the office
building about $50 rooms. The ONCE
