BUSINESS DISTRICT ENLARGES BOUNDARY ALL NEW BUILDINGS BEYOND OLD LIMITS Predictions Are That in Five Years Business Center Will Be Near Seventh Street and Broadway It is a notable fact that there Is scarcely a building under construction in the retail district between Temple street on the north, Sixth street on the south, Hill street on the west and Main street on the east. The only improvement going on in the north part is the posstofflce building. In the district lying south of SixtH street a number of fine buiUllngs are under construction; the Nelson Story build- Ing at Sixth and Broadway, ten stories; the George W. Walker Temple of Art, on Grand avenue near Seventh, six stories; the Hamburger theater build- ing on Broadway, near Ninth street, eight stories; the Pacific Mutual In- surance building at Sixth and Olive streets, five stories; the Crampton building on South Broadway, between Seventh and Eighth streets, four stories; the M. A. Newmark building, on Spring street, south of Seventh street, four stories; the Robert Marsh building on Main street, near Eighth, two stories; the Fitz E. Beach build- ing at 50S-Ei9 South -ill street, three stories; and the one-story brick store buildings for J. D. Hooker and Wil- liam Garland, the former at Ninth and Broadway, to contain ten store rooms, and the latter on the east side of Broadway, Just north of Eighth street, with a frontage of 100 feet. There are also two brick garage bulld- lng« under construction in the same district. As an illustration of the trend of the business district toward the junc- tion of Main and Tenth streets, the foregoing is sufficient to base a guess that in five years the center of the business district will be nearer Sev- enth and Broadway than at any other point.

STORY BUILDING CONTRACTS LET AMOUNT TO $3C0,000 Massive Steel and Concrete Construe. tion on Job Requires Greatest Care, but Excellent Progress Is Evident Work on the W. P. Story building, in the course of erection on Sixth street and Broadway, is being rushed, and more than 100 men are now engaged on the foundations, concrete and steel work. The footings are all reinforced concrete. On the alley and sides there are reinforced concrete cantilevers, each of which will contain about sev- enty-five yards of concrete, reinforced with from thirty to fifty 1%-inch twist- ed steel rods, as the requirements of the loads they are to carry need. In the portion ot the structure where the sub-basement is constructed for the machinery the foundation will go forty feet below the street level. This Is a tremendous job, and slow but excellent progress is being made on this work. Carl Leonardt, the general contractor, has a staff of his best men in charge of this work. The Llewellyn iron works is pushing the steel work, and has a number of the cast shoes and steel columns to the basement In place.

Two cargoes of steel have arrived, amounting to 1,700,000 pounde, for this job, and the work of fabricating is now helng pushed with the utmost speed in the steel works, the purpose being to have the general foundation brought up to the level of the. street by the first of January, with the rough concrete floors in the first story in place, and the remainder of the steel work will be done in sixty days thereafter. Contracts amounting to $300,000 have already been awarded on this building, and other contracts will be cloied up as quickly as possible.

BUSINESS DISTRICTENLARGES BOUNDARY

ALL NEW BUILDINGS BEYONDOLD LIMITS

Predictions Are That in Five YearsBusiness Center Will Be Near

Seventh Street andBroadway

It is a notable fact that there Isscarcely a building under constructionin the retail district between Templestreet on the north, Sixth street onthe south, Hill street on the west andMain street on the east. The only

improvement going on in the northpart is the posstofflce building. In thedistrict lying south of SixtH street anumber of fine buiUllngs are underconstruction; the Nelson Story build-Ing at Sixth and Broadway, ten stories;the George W. Walker Temple of Art,on Grand avenue near Seventh, sixstories; the Hamburger theater build-ing on Broadway, near Ninth street,eight stories; the Pacific Mutual In-surance building at Sixth and Olivestreets, five stories; the Cramptonbuilding on South Broadway, betweenSeventh and Eighth streets, fourstories; the M. A. Newmark building,on Spring street, south of Seventhstreet, four stories; the Robert Marshbuilding on Main street, near Eighth,two stories; the Fitz E. Beach build-ing at 50S-Ei9 South -ill street, threestories; and the one-story brick storebuildings for J. D. Hooker and Wil-liam Garland, the former at Ninthand Broadway, to contain ten storerooms, and the latter on the east sideof Broadway, Just north of Eighthstreet, with a frontage of 100 feet.There are also two brick garage bulld-lng« under construction in the samedistrict.

As an illustration of the trend ofthe business district toward the junc-

tion of Main and Tenth streets, theforegoing is sufficient to base a guessthat in five years the center of thebusiness district will be nearer Sev-enth and Broadway than at any otherpoint.
