S4OO,OO0 CONTRACT FOR NEW BANK HOME
H. Wales Lines Co. to Erect Commercial Trust
 Building

The H. Wales Lines Co.,, of Mcri- den, has been awarded a contract 10 build the new banking house Of the Commercial Trust Co.,, on the
 plot of land lying between city hail and the Eihu Burritt hotel. The building, exclusive Of bank fittings, will cost S400,000.

 The building front will be lime
 stone up to the third floor and brick above, Ground will be broken al

 A unique feature Of the new bank will be elimination of cages ana
 screens such as are now used and substitution of a modern counter system modeled afteT the plan now

 It is expected that John F i Downes of this city. will superin-
 tend the construction of the building as representative of the architects.

 The government refused 10 fur nish water to delinquents until all ] past dues were paid or until notes ] were given. This the farmers de clined to do, claiming the govern ! ment should furnish the water un- til all irrigated lands are reclassi- fled according to terms of the Om- nibus water bill. recently signed by President Coolidge.
