HOTEL WORK IS
TO START SOON
Active Building Operations on
Penn-Harris Open in
Ten Days

Within the next ten days active
operations will be started on the
Penn-Harris hotel, A. B. Mills, the
estimating engineer of Nelson and
Levin, the Chicago and Washington
firm which will build the hotel, ar
rived in the city this morning and
had a conference with Building In
spector Grove and City Commissioner
Lynch, head of the Department OF
Public Works Both officials assured
him that they would cooperate IN
every reasonable way in eXpedltlng
work on the big structure.
Mr.. Mills had a conference with
the architects of the hotel in New
York on Saturday, and 1t is expected
the final details regarding the con-
tract will be consummated at a
meeting of the board of directors IN
this city on Thursday. There seems
to be nothing now in the way OF go
ing ahead promptly with the lmpoF-
tant undertaking.
Will Lose No Time
Mr.. Mills said to-day that all pre-
liminaries of the construction had
been arranged and that no time
would be lost in getting started. he
called attention, however, to the hne
of giant poles along the Walnut
street front of the property at Ihlrd
and Walnut streets and SAID II Woulu
be necessary to have these poIes re-
moved in the interest of efficient OPP
erations on the building. These
poles constitute the most serious OF
the overhead lines, but it is believed
that they can be eliminated after a
conference with the telephone COM
pany. Inasmuch as there has been
a gradual removal of the overhead
system, especially in the central
business district, the erection OF the
Penn Harris ought to be turtner
incentive to the company interested
to clear Walnut street without lur-
thnr delaN.
