Work on the new armory for this
city started last Friday morning when
crew started the excavation and
filling. It is expected that it will
take a week and half to complete
this part of the work, since there is
a seven or eight foot fill to be made
at the back of the lot.
Captain R. S. Thornton of the To-
cal guard company told a Citizen
News representative that he expects
the building will be enclosed by Oct.
1, and that the interior work, such as
the plastering and finishing, the lay
ing of the maple floor, ETC., should be
complete some time in December.
The matter of the erection of the
building OF, the armory came to a
head before the State Armory Board
