F0RSTRUCTURE
Construction of Fine 100000
Building Including Show
House Hinges Only On Minor
Arrangements

That 10000 building on Arthur
street is likely to be constructed
shortly is the promise of local men
who are interested in the venture. The
proposed structure. for which plans
are not being drafted by r. E. Field,
local architect, will be $50 by l20
so feet of the Arthur street frontage,
north of the Bungalow theatre, will be
two stories. and provide new accom-
modations for the moving picture
house.
The remainder of the property be-
tween. this building and the CONNER
cial club block. will be devoted to a
series of single story structures COM
bined to make an attractive single
building. All will be brick fronted,
have complete easements and will be
OF modern, high grade construction.
Only Technicalities Ahead,
Several minor items must be dis
posed Of in making the arrangements
before the building can be erected but
indications now point to an expedite
GUS construction of both the theatre
and the remainder of the entire build
ing Property upon which the build
ing will be erected is owned by a Num-
Der of men. J. H. Lowell owns so feet
adjoining the Commercial club build
ing, Howard Sehree the adjoining Is
feet. Picard and Roberts rs foot lot,
Mr.. Sebree another Is feet and Martin
Jensen the last Is feet adjoining the
Bungalow Mr.. Jensen has been dick
ering with Mr.. Sebree for some time
for the Is foot lot adjoining his prop
|erty and at present has 80 day option
on the property and expects to pur-
chase it. Ike Waters, manager of the
Bungalow, is anxious to have the real
go through to insure new playhouse
for him.
Mr.. Sebree wired from California
Wednesday that he was willing to rect
a building on his other lot. Mr.. Low .
ell has long been anxious to do so
and Picard and Roberts want only the
assurance of tenant to set the
wheels in motion. While estimates
have not been made. Mr.. Field cx-
pressed the belief that the entire build
ing including the theatre would cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000
800 Seating Capacity.
Tentative plans for the new theatre
building call for seating capacity in
excess of 800, The structure will be
equipped with commodious stage. a
fine heating plant and balcony of
considerable proportions. In addition
to the balcony on the second floor. the
front of the building will be devoted to
three offices. Access to the latter
will be gained through the stairway
now being used in the Bungalow
theatre.
Construction of the building will
mean that the block on Arthur street
between Kimball and Seventh will hc
almost entirely built up, Because OF
the favorable location and the evident
tendency of the town to develop in
that direction, no difficulty is anti
cipated in obtaining tenants for the
new buildings.
Reports are current of a number CT
other buildings of considerable magni-
tude which are contemplated for i'm
mediate erection. A new hotel prop
osition is to come before the CONNER
'cial club at its October meeting
which is said to be far more favorable
than any so far presented Among the
other structures talked of are two
apartment houses to provide room for
the over congested condition of the
residence districts and the evident
need of accommodations for people
who wish to live in Caldwell for short
times without having to resort to the
purchase of property.
