Like Mr, Shannon's other building operations, this will be one to his credit, the improvement to that cornér being of untold value in the way of beautifying that section of the . city. He m;zu done more towards fm- provi business section of Nor- wich by new bulldings and alterations than any other single man and that he has not reached his goal is wn by the continual addition to his list of properties, His progressive nature and excellent ability to put through such property changes which are bound to be of immense future value has at- tracted attention throughout the entire state. This new hotel replaces the Adver- tiser building, a landmark for fifty years, and gives an additional and the first bachelor's hote] to the city. The entire frontage of the hotel property on both streets is about seventy feet. The foundation of the old building was entirely removed and new brick piers have been constructed, four on Mar- ket street and three on Water street, on which the building will rest. The cellar walls are of concrete, having been built out to the curb line, the cellar to extend under the walk. The brickwork has been stafted by Cruthers & Lillibridge, who secured the contract, and the work of pouring the concrete can be started as soon as the steelwork is in place. Some of the forms have been placed, while others will be put up next week, and from now on the work will be pushed along rapidly.

It will be possible to alternate the men em- ployed on the two jobs, as there is some time betwken the completion of a floor on the Shannon building and the start on the next, or during a wait for steel, that the time can be put in to advantage on the hotel, so that the latter, being smaller, will advance aqliicker and will be done in &l proba- bility before the Shannon building. The entrance as shown will be at the corner and on the ground floor will be the hotel lobby and desk with a cafe at the left. The building will be equipped with the latest elevator and the remainder of the building will be given over to rooms. There wiil be about forty rooms in the hotel, which will include the third floor of the Au- ditorium building. This floor was laid out for a banquet hall and used as such until the Auditorium became a theater, when its use ceased, and it will now be fitted up for hotel use.

The building to a certain ex- tent resembles the old Shannon build- ing, although much smaller. Shannon Building Progress. The work on the Shannon building is progressing slowly but surely. forms are about in for the fourth floor reinforced concrete work. The uprights for this floor have been poured and the entire floor will soon be in, leayin, one more and the roof to complete. The brickwork is up as far as the fourth floor except in Shetucket street, where it has not been put in owing to the hoist being used from that point, and the wall would interfere.

They are drilling through solid rock, the elevator being of the plunger pattern, which will be in the same part of the building as was the old elevator. The drill sinks about four feet daily, making a hole sixteen inches in diameter. The hole will be sixty feet deep, a hole equal to the height of the building being necessars Adjoining this building Mr, Shannon is to erect another three or four story building along similar lines, the plans for which are now being drawn.

ECCLESTON FAMILY REUNION AT GLASGO Sixty Were Present Including a Num- ber from Here. The descendants of the late Av N. Eccleston and wife, Sally B. Ra; of North Stonington, held their ninth annual reunion with Mr. and Mrs. Nathan W. Eccleston at Glasgo, Tues- day. Sixty wers present, coming_ from Boston, Hartford, Willimantic, Jew City, Norwich,,Yantle, Bean Hill, N antic, Mystic, Stonington, North Ston- ington and other places. Death has entered the circle the past year and taken a daughter, Mrs. Oliver §S. Miller, the eldest of the nine c dren who lived to grow up. Only three of the children are now living, Nathan W. Eccleston of Glasgo, with whom the reunion was held, Jolin D. of Jewett City and Herman Clinton of North Stonington, all of whom with their wives were in attendance, the st of the number being composed of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their famflies. The day was spent in happy man- ner. The dinner took the form of a family picnic and the good things wera packed on the table until it fairly groaned under the weight. The chick- en and baked beans, which the host and hostéss had prepared, was a dish to be remembered. An abundance of candy and watermelon was furnished by two who stood treat for the crowd. Games were played by the young people and songs, -both sacred and sentimental, were sung. Thi#e cheers and a vote of thanks were given Mr, and Mrs. Eccleston with a unanimous vote to meet at the same place next year the last Tuesday in August, pro- Viding God is willing. At most reunions a literarv pro- gramme is prepared for teh occasion, but this family meets for the express purpose of having a day to vigit with each other and there is no time for anything of that kind, judging by the busy hum of voices heard on all sides, and the swiftly passing hours.

Bids will be opened Fri- day, Sept. 10, for the construction of the macadam road, over the portion of the road not now macadamized. The bids will be Gpened at the office of State Highway Commissioner Mac- donald at the capitol, Hartford, as the road is to be built by the state. Con- tractors have been notified and some from this city and other sections of eastern Connecticut may bid. The amount of road to be built is about seven and one-half miles. It will start at & point near the Water- ford schoolhouse on_the Norwich-New London turnpike and will run to Trad- ing Cove, where the macadam to N wich begins. The contract will be much sought as it is a big one—too bi e cept for quite extensive It will mean a contract price of about | $60,000 and the employment of a large force of men. The decision of the state to build this macadam, thus establishing a good highway from New London to Norwich, is hailed with delight in this section of | the state. It will be a great boon to New London and Norwich and in fact to all eastern Connecticut. The work will be started this fall and hurried along. The preparatiol for building this road and the buil ing of other state roads in several of the towns of New London county seem to indicate that Commissioner Mac- donald is doing all he can for good roads for eastérn Connecticut. The road will be built of mnative crushed stome with a one inch tep dressing of trap rock and is to be buiit fourteen feet wide throughout. The work will be let at once and con- tractors will be ‘compelled to proceed to work on the roads at once and com- pl:tnltll.m before severe cold weather sets in. Brought to State Hospi John, E.
