SUBSTANTIAL BUSINESS BLOCK. The
owners of the Opera House block have been
giving the building a general overhaulnp.
and making minor repairs where needed. The
most important work was the laying of new
tar and gravel roof, by crew from Fairfield.
who first removed the old roof entirely. The
building in the rear, with blacksmith shop on
the ground floor. is included in the renovation
and repairs. 1t may he remembered that on
one occasion when there was an unusually
large attendance at the Food Fair some ap-
prehension was felt that the floor might give
way. This led Mr.. Charles N Black, one of
the owners of the block, to interview Mr., |.
w. Parker, the builder, who laughed when
questioned as to the safety of the building
"Why." said he, "Mr. Hayford instructed me
to make the building four times as strong as
It need to be, and I did So" He then gave
details as to the construction. sizes of timber
used, and said that the building would bear
any weight that could possibly be put upon it.
This statement is substantiated by the exami-
nations made for the repairs now going on.
No part of the building or foundation has set
tied anywhere in the slightest degree, and
there is not even a crack in the plastering.
1t is credit to the builder and an enduring
monument to Axel Hayford, the man who had
it built.
