"Christopher Zilliax, of the Central Hotel, has let the contract for a two-storey brick building. It will be 18x42 feet with plate glass front and tar and gravel roof. D. Lowry has the stone and brickwork, lathing and plastering at $425. The carpenter work is not yet let. Contract is to be completed by Oct. 1st. Mr. Zilliax purchased half the brick wall from Jas.
