Announcement was made last week
of the Immediate erection of four new
brick buildings on the west side which
will involve a total investment of ap
proximately $350,000, , - t
The largest of these structures is a
new class "A" hotel which is to be built
by W, B. Walker on a single lot at the
northeast corner of Taylor and Park
streets. Mr. Walker closed the deal
for the purchase for this Bite last Mon
day, paying $55,000 for it, and imme
diately announced that he would begin
the erection early In January of a six or
eight story , structure, the. ground floor
to be arranged for stores and the upper
floors to be used for hotel purposes.
At the northeast corner of Second and
Madison streets, Isam White is going
to build a four story brick structure on
40x100 foot lot. This building Is to
be of, the same general type as- the one
to be erected at Park and Taylor
streets by Mr. Walker that la, stores
on the ground floor and a hotel to oc
cupy the upper stories. Architect Emir
Scbacht & Son are getting up the plans
for the building, v V . 1
On King street near Washington, X
Q. Fletschman will soon begin the
erection of a brick apartment house. Mr.
tleischman recently bought the 56x72
foot lot directly north of the Morton
apartments on King street.'
James N. Desendorf has let the Pon
tract for a four story brick apartment
house to be erected on Sixteenth street
between Sainton and Taylor. The struc
ture ' Is I to be modern throughout and

Joseph Gllckman, who for Some time
has owned a 25x100 too, lot on the east
Side of Third street " between Everett
and Flanders,' closed a deal last week
for the adjoining 25 foot lot and con
templates the erection of a substantial
brick building on the property early in
the new year. ' ' - - v"-
A permit was taken out last Monday
by the Seven Oaks Investment com
pany for a one story brick store build
ing to be erected on the quarter block
at the northeast corner of Seventh and
Oak streets. ' This structure will . cost
about $20,000, and is so planned that
six store rooms will front on Seventh
street and Jhree on Oak, The building
is intended only as a temporary affair
and will be displaced by a modern struc
ture when the development of that sec
tion of the city warrants the change.
w. semense has procured . a permit
for a two story frame aparement house
to be erected at the corner of East Clay
Street and Union avenue. The building
la to be modern in design and will cost
approximately $10,000. '
William G. Eaton, who last week took

so. successful is it that it has grown
from one playhouse to three. . The owl

to watch the old year out. and one that

With three mOea of sewer pipe laid
in but little more than four weeks, it
seems probable that the Riverside dis
trict sewer will be completed before the
end of February, and set a new record
for such construction at this season of
the year. ' . -..-v.;
This district Is the first In which
glased cement pipe ; has been laid, and
deliveries have been made by the man
ufacturers to William Lind, the con
tractor, at the rate CI 1000 feet per
day. Pipe as large as 24 inches in diam
eter Is being used in this work. ,
The mouth of the new sewer ' will
be in the river below the Portland
Flouring Mills. At one point on Ilaa-
well street the line of the sewer went
tnrough abridge. neeessitaUng a cut 27
feet deep for the pipe to lie in. By
the construction of this new district
sewer. a large area lying sooth of Kil
lingsworth avenue and near the Wil
lamette will be effectually drained.
Vyorkihg under the weather condi
tions usual at, this season, the con
tractor on the Riverside district has
completed practically one-third of the
enure district, - ;
'If we have half way usual weather
we should be through by Februarv."
said Mr.Lind this week. "The weather
has delayed us considerably already.
We went to work right away as soon
as the contract with the city was signed
October 29, and have laid about three
miles or pipe. Including laterals." . '
jsewers have been placed in Griswold
avenuei-vPreaeott, Going. Wygaht Hrnn-
Doiar, Alberta, Alva avenue. Webster
and Sumner streets and parts of Den
ver avenue ana Emerson street :
The construction of this - large " dis
trict sewer Ib another indication of the
growth or the city, for maay of the
streets in this . district now well built
up witn homes, are entirely unfamiliar
by name to those who have not kept
pace, with the upgrowth of the outlying
sections oi roriiana. .
