Fowler in Bast Norwich, ;rflb&bmw is t:,;%e of seven rouu‘;s, shingling outside, and a veranda gn two sides elght feet wide. houses ought to be a good investment. Superintendent Killars of the Ameri- Veivet Co., states that at least Bailey will do the ceflar work lnd Joseph Monaher is to install the plumbing and heating. Two More Cottages. Charles 1. Rathbun of Boswell ave- nue is worl on the excavating and mmdmo for two mnew cottages which to erect at the head of Russell ro‘d One of the lots is at the cormer of Russell road and Bos- weil avenue and the other lot adjoins the ifirst lot. The foundation for the corner bullding is now being put mn but the excavation in the other ot is not_yet completed. The houses are to be 23 x 28, of wood and two stories in height. They will contain steam heat electric lights, hot and cold water, bath and other modern improvements. The interior finish is to be of cypress, natural wood and the floors will be of maple. The cottages will probably be | completed during the early summer. ‘When completed Mr. Rathbun intends | to place the cottages on the market. Two-Story Cottage. The two-story cottage on St. Regis avenue in process of comstruction for Hadley Potter, by Charles 1. Rathbun is rapidly nearing the completed stage. The lathing has been put up and the plastering will be commenced in a few days now. It is an eight- | to as great an extent to the employes of the Atwood Machine Co. There is not _the least doubt but that as m{l‘ny cottages, at a very comservative oula he remted here just as they were buiit. It would ™ more business for the storekeep- ers and less expene for the mill em- ployes as their trolley and train fares a considerable item. Building wo‘ld of course, have to be done outside the borough limits, either to the eastward or north of the borough. K present active business conditions prevail here it is reasonable to ex- pect soomer or later something of a boom along this line.
