 A contract for the construction of a building on Seventeenth street, Ensley, was given Friday by T. F. Sinclair, president of the Sinclair Transfer com pany. The Worthington Contracting company will build the structure, work to start during the next day or two. It is planned to so arrange the interior as to eliminate posts thus allowing trucks of whatever size to enter. The building will be 90 feet wide by 150 feet deep and will be of concrete and steel. It will be modern in every de- tail.
 This is said to be the beginning of building activities on Seventeenth street which will result in several i'm proyements in that part of Ensley. The understanding is general that Mir. Sin clair will follow the building with the construction of a building on the cor ner of Seventeenth street and Ave nue E. This structure will be of orna- mental face brick, steel and concrete.
 The 100 feet front on Seventeenth street to be vacated by MT. Sinclair, will be used by the two Italian societies of Ensley for the construction of a build ing of their own, it is said. This build ing will be modern in all respects, and will be two stories high. Commercial houses will be arranged on the street floor while the upper floor will be equipped as an assembly hall for the societies. It is understood that the Ital- ian building will cost large sum.
