Work On Market
Street Held Up
Lack Of Stone Supply Causes
Delay In Laying Of
Street Bed.
WORK TO BE RESUMED MONDAY

Owing to the hold-up in the suppl!
Of stone, progress has been halted il
the laying of the concrete bed o,
Market street along the burnt sec
ton.
Work, however, will soon be resum
ed, as there seems to have been dump
ed large quantity recently and Con
tractor Morse will push the work t.
speedy completion.
The new home of the Worcester
Democrat will probably be handed
over to the owner this week. Con
tractor Morse is busy laying concrete
walks, and these will be ready for use
by Monday.
Installation Of machinery will begir
at once, and it is hoped that every,
thing will be running smoothly inside
of a week or ten days.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Clarke moved in.
to their new home this week and are
now permanently located as residents
Of their native town.
Work is being pushed on the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Mock, and this when fin.
ished will complete the improvement;
in that newly-opened section.
Ounce Ashburn is removing the
construction sheds so long in use ir
that part of the city, and it is report.
ed will improve the vacant spaces by
making grass plots.
The town authorities should lose nc
time in placing crossings at the inter.
section Of Clarke avenue and Vine
street. Both business and residential
interests demand these as we'll as ade.
quate street lighting. At present there
is neither.
The bed of the street, too needs i'm
provement. If concrete can not be
laid, it should have, at least, such
treatment as was given Fourth street
With. business interests at Vine
street and Clarke avenue, it behooves
the city to allow nothing to stand in
the way of a convenient and comfort
able approach to them.

A Modern Building And A
Credit To Eastern Shore !.
Banking Houses.
STRUCTURE REPRODUCTION
OF FORMER EDIFICE

The new Pocomoke City National
Bank building was occupied this week,
business now being transferred from
Clogg's garage to the handsome edi-
fee on Market street between Clarke
avenue and Second street.
It is safe to say that no banking
people on the shore are now more lux
uriously housed than the local cor
poration. The house is truly mar
vel of completeness, convenience, and
elegance. &-'
It adheres to rather long used
style Of architecture, but is none less
a splendid creation, and cannot fail
to impress one with it's richness and
beauty.
Modern day arrangement has adopt
ed method of placing the officers of
a bank within easy reach of patrons.
Therefore, as one enters the lobby of
most buildings one sees On right and
left the desks of president, vice-presi-
dent, and other officers. These are
ready at hand to do business and the
customer does not have to thread his
way back to the offices in the rear.
This has its advantages, and this
plan. has been adopted in the construc-
tion of the imposing edifice erected By
the Citizens National Bank corpora
ton, another structure this city, can
be proud Of.
The Pocomoke City National has,
however, reproduced almost exactly
their home destroyed by fire, and, as
said above, it is wonderfully COM
plete in every respect.
The entrance is made through re-
vclving doors, ushering into corri-
COR where one comes face to face with
the close ironed railing behind which
the clerical force operates.
On each. side the door convenient
booths are built for use of customers.
Leading to the rear is a hall by which
the cashiers room and directors
room are approached, and by the
same route the clerical forces finds
its way to their desks.
A beautiful stairway ascends to the
mezzanine floor, where can ibe found
a ladies' rest room, vault for private
boxes, and booths for service.
Fronting these is gallery from
which one can gain a panoramic view
and take in the coloring, handsome e.
quipment, and general effect.
The bank is finished in dark oak,
with furniture, hangings, decorations,
and electric fixtures to match. Light
comes from sky-light in the centre.
This is supplied with glass in shades
harmonizing with the rest,. and the
suns rays as they break through are
toned down to a comforting and pleas
ing radiance. The whole effect of
the building is one that can not fail
to please, and gives the impression
that neither money nor effort has been
spared to make this old bank as we'll
housed as any other on the shore or
even in the State.
Everybody connected with it is de-
serving of congratulations. The di-
rectors, upon their pride in contribut-
ing to the architectural beauty of the
city; the architects, in their concep-
ton of the plan; the contractor in
the accuracy, completeness, and work.
man-Iike finish Of the whole output;
and the mechanics in their skillful
handiwork.
