The Sunnyalde Congregational
Church members have decided to pur
chase a site and erect a church edifice.
This decision has become necessary,
according to statements of the church
officials, because, of the growth of the
congregation and auxiliary bodiee con
nected with the church work.
A movement is being agitated on the
East Side to have the School Board sell
the site on which the present Williams
avenue Schoolhouse stands and use the
proceeds in the erection of a more com
modious building in another locality,
where ground is not so valuable.
Ground was broken last week for the
double flat building to be erected on
East Burnside street, between East
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The

house at Sellwood. The clubhouse is to
he built of concrete, and Is designed
for un of the employes of the O. W. P.
division. The cost of the improvement
is estimated at 40,ono.
Bids are to be opened April 15 for
construction of a Y. M. C. A. building
st the Agricultural College at CorvaUis.
Information as to specifications may be
obtained from the secretary of the col
lege. Architect F. M. Anderson is prepar
ing plans for a new schoolhouse to be
erected at Seappoose, to cost $12,500.
A modern bungalow is to be erected
by W. H. Chat ten. on an acre a"fid a
hilf of land purchased from Sengstake
Lyman, on the river hank above the
Charles K. I. add place. There are sev
eral homes to he hnilt fn that vicin
ity the coming Summer.
Within the next 10 days contractors
will be excavating for the new Rosen
blatt Hotel at Tenth and Alder.
East Side warehouse sites ftre being
improved at a rate that attracts atten
tion. Several new buildings figured in
last week's records for that district.
Building permits carrying values of
over $175,000 were, issued last week,
being in excess of those issued in any
week since the first of the year.
The cannery being erected nt Cor
vaUis. when completed, will have a ca
pacity of 50.000 cans per day. This
industry is growing in the Valley, and
railroad officials assert that within Ave
yea re there will be Joo carloads a year
sent out. which means a number of now
buildings to be devoted to the business.
There is at least one marked differ
ence between Portland s new big build
ings and those of other "greater" cities.
The "to let" sign i not in evidence
here.
President Morton, of the Equitable
Life, is said to hay offered a $7.Vfl0
loan on the new Y. M. C. A. building,
and that before the building is barely
started. An inference is that the
ground furnishes sufficient margin.
Work 4n clenring the debris from the
site of the Burkhardt building, on Sec
ond street, next to the Gcrlinger build
ing, is progressing, and excavating will
Ftart probably this week.
Reinforced concrete walls of the Ore
gon Hotel annex are going up as rap
idly as that style of architecture will
permit.
Excavations are being made under
th old building of the Pacific Iron
Works at Kast Burnside and Fast Third
streets, and an addition is to be added
to the buildlnirs shortly. Filling is go-
building is to cost between $5000 and
$9000. and is to be put up for C. N.
Rankin.
New tracts are being platted in both
the south and north ends of the Penin
sula, and while there would appear to be
greater demand just now for large pieces
in the vicinity of the Slough, agents re
port quite an active inquiry in the whole
strip from one end to the other skirting
the great Bast Side section of the city.

Cost to Build, Exclusive of Heating and Plumbing, $2200.
By Glen L. Saxton, Architect, New Security Bank Building,
Minneapolis, Minn.
This is an attractive house of its class, and from the exterior it
looks all that it is, "a model cottage."
The plans are well laid out and the arrangement of the rooms
convenient, providing for living-room, dining-room, bedroom and
kitchen on the first floor, with two large bedrooms, bath and extra
large closets on the second floor. Three bedrooms could easily be
1 arranged, and in fact, almost any arrangement of plans and rooms
could be made for this exterior to suit the individual taste of the
builder.
