 Building Progresses. Work on the new brick building of the Tracey Driscol company of Bris- tol, which is to be erected at Central Square next to the Economy Grocery store, is being rushed and the exca- | ,ation for the foundation is well un- der way F.

 Thcatcr Nears Completion.
 The new theater on Whiting street will be open to the public within three weeks, according to the plans of c. B. Eastman, owner. Work is well under way but there have been many repairs necessary and the open ing, scheduled for June 1, will be delayed. The first night will be de voted to dancing on the ground floor as Mir. Eastman will not put in the seats until the public gets an oppor tunity to see the stage and interior work.
 MT. Eastman has a plan in view of calling his place the Community | House, instead of the Auditorium He | teels that with the apparent lack Of a suitable place in the town for hold ing public affairs his building would be an ideal hall for such purposes. He would rent the place out to any organization or private parties desir- ing to present plays, hold meetings or other business and he feels that by 1 doing so, the townspeople would have a better place to meet than at the town or Grange hall. The building | on Whiting street is capable of ac commodating $50 people.
