THE r YOLLKNOw , L "l FLAT BUILDING THAT IS TO COST $1,000,000 A novel flat building, involving;, with site, the exenditure of nearly $1, (MWl.(M)il the largest sum invested in Chicago in a single enterprise of this kind is to be erected the coming summer at the southwest corner of Michigan avenue and Thirty-first street, Chicago. The distinguishing feature of the big structure will be the absence of any kitchen, save one big one 'for the use of the entire building, .lames t. Cozzens, 7 Wash ington street, is the promoter. He has brought the financiering of the project to a point where the execu tion of it is assured. Work will com mence in dune ami the apartments will be ready for occupancy next spring. In the general plan of operation, the new building, a name for which has not been selected, will be conduct ed like the Ansonia, the 2,."inO-room hotel at Ilroadway and Seventy-third street. New A'ork. which was built by W. K. I). Stokes at a cost of $2,.VM).. mm). The suites will contain from one to live rooms. They will lie leas ed by the year unfurnished, the rent running, nfeording to present plans, from $::o to $loo a month. There will, be no cooking in the building, except in the big restaurant, which is to le conducted on a mod erate-priced plan, serving twenty-live cent breakfasts and fifty cent table d'hote dinners. Tenants may have their apartments cared for at reason able extra exiense, doing away with the necessity of individual servants. The building is 1o rise 100 feet above the sidewalk, nine stories, and thoroughly fire-proofed by the Uoeh ling system. It will contain j.TJ rooms. The ground dimensions are 200 by 1S.1 feet, the first story to be stone ami the superstructure of "yel low pressed brick. The doors and floors will contain all the wood em ployed in the construction of the building. .The, halls are to be wide anil all the suites will open either tin one of the fronts or on courts.. There are to be no shafts to serve as drafts for flames. On the ground floor on the Thirty- fifth street side will be nine stories entirely separated from the rest of the building. The restaurant, con taining 6,700 square feet, will be on the first floor. Mr. Cozzens said of the project: "The success with which the small buildings on this plan have met in Chicago shows the demand for accom modations of this kind. In f A'ork it is n common tyje und very profitable. I have had the plan in mind for many years, and came near carrying it out before the -world fair, hut decided that the time was not .ripe, the oemanci tor tins kiiiu of building, which is neither hotel nor flat building- strictly, is great. One mistake that has been made and which we shall avoid is to rent the restaurant to managers who eharg prices that are prohibitive to peopU of moderate means." Owing to the favor with which in vestors have looked on this tyjie of building in Xew A'ork the Cozzens project- has lieen largely financed in that city, a large loan in .addition to the $.100,000 of stock having Wen ne gotiated in that city. The cost of the building will be about .o.noo. ROCK ISLAND. ILL thony's hospital, where l)r, E. M. Sala reduced the fractures. PERSONAL POINTS DeSilva.was in Coal A'allev Dr. J today. (r.
