I Swot'i Building la South Pari·. FIXE NEW ORANGE HALL, AND A FEW QOOD MODERN DWELLINGS. No large increase In size bas marked the village of South Paria daring the season of 1913. In fact, it takes only a short time to enumerate the new build ings. Still it may be said that there has been a little growth, as there has been in every year for a long time; aod the building this year has all been of first class up-to-date structures. Industrially there is little to note ex cept an addition to the mill of J. A. Kenney A Co. to accommodate a few more machines. The new chimney of the Paris Manufacturing Co. is also a conspicuous fea'ure of the landscape, but does not add to the capacity of their large plant. Much above the average in character are the few houses which have been built. Though closed in during 1912, the bouse of F. A. Heidner on High Street opposite Moore Park has not been completed until within a short time so that Mr. and Mrs. Heidner are now oc cupying it. This nouse is a bungalow, with a large hall, four large rooms and bath on the ground floor, and a number of chambers on the second floor. It is fully modern in all respects, and equip ped with all available comforts and con veniences. Mr. Heidner has also begun the re modeling of m old building moved from the front end of his lot on High Street to the Myrtle Street frontage, to add to his liue of small tenements there. Ooe of the most commodious of the new houses is the bungalow built by Mrs. George H. Davi», and now occupied by the family, on a lot on Maple Street next to the former home of the family. This house baa ten rooms, bath and good balls. It has vapor beat and all modern conveniences, is built for comfort rather than show, and has more tban fulfilled expectations in that respect. Directly at the top of the ridge on Shurtleff Avenue, E. C. Torrey has built an attractive bungalow, and is now occupying it with his family. The house has four rooms, a large reception hall with fireplace, and bath, on the ground floor, two chambers and an out door sleeping room on the second floor, is heated by a furnace, and is modern in all its appointments. £. E. Chapman, who sold his farm on the Paris Hill road to L. L. Russell, has built on Highland Avenue a two-story house, of six rooms and bath, handsome ly finished and comfortable, with good basement and hot water heat. He and his family have been occupying the hou«e for some weeks. On Wheeler Street Maurice L. Noyes has built an attractive bungalow of seven rooms and bath, with basement under the whole, well fitted though not over elaborate. This house is at present rented. T. J. Judkins has built on Charles Street a small house wbicbhe is now oc cupying. A email cottage which was to have been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. Carl Tubbs, across the road from the bouse of 6. K. Ripley, was not quite completed when Mr. Tubbs died, and is at present unoccupied. Besides the new houses, there bave been remodelinge and small additions to some others, in the line of improvement. No building ban beeu destroyed by fire, the factory of the Mason Manufac turing Co. having suffered most in two fires, both of which were doubtless in cendiary, but were extinguished without very extensive damage. NEW ORANGE HALL. The largest structure erected during the season, and tbe ouly one in tbe form nf a public building, it" the new ball of Paris Grange, P. of H. This is on Maple Street, only a few rods from Mar ket Square, and 1h to be classed among tbe best grange balls of tbe elate. Botb in general plan and details tbe ball copies quite closely the plau of tbe ball of Norway Grange, though the building is four feet longer than the Norway hall. It is of wood, painted white, and tbe outside dimensions nre 88x80 feet, with a portico at the en trance. On tbe first floor are the men's coat room and men's toilet, a large dining room, which occupies tbe middle of the building, and back of it a commodious kitchen. A series of doors open through between tbe dining room and kitchen, and make serving easy. The kitchen will have a range, two enameled sinks, a good supply of closets, and all necessary equipment. On tbe second floor are the women's coat room and toilet room, and tbe main hall. The floor of the hall has a clear space of 37x45 feet in front of tbe stage. The stage, which is at tbe rear end of tbe building, is 18 feet in depth from its front to tbe wall of tbe building, and has a proscenium arch 18 feet in width. The finish is in cypress and hard pine, cypress being used eutirely on the sec ond floor. The floors are all of hard wood. Two wood furnaces in tbe base ment will furnish heat for the building. It is lighted by electricity. Scenery for the etage is now being painted by Wm. P. Morton, and will in clu !e a drop curtain and three changes— parlor, kitchen and wood scenes, and perhaps a street scene. One feature which will give distinction to tbe building is a memorial window to tbe charter members of tbe grange, which is at the front, over the entrance. There is a good basement with con crete wall under tbe whole building. Tho building committee of Paris Grange, which has had charge of the work, was composed of Henry D. Ham tuoud, Alton C. Maxim, A. M. Ryerson, Mrs. S. E. Jackson, and Mrs. J. M. Mil lett. Philip S. Mason has bad general charge of the building work. Work on the building i· well along, and it is now hoped to have it completed and ready for dedication by the first week in Jauuary. Although the exact cost of the hall can not yet be told.it will be in the vicin ity of «S000. rUULIC WORKS. Considerable extensions have been made to the water and sewer systems during the «eaxon. The town sewer has been extended from its former terminus on Pleasant Street, near Dr. LittlefleldV, to the Oxford County Creamery, with a manhole at Skillings Avenue, aud a sew er bas been laid for the whole of Maple Street, a total of 1148 feot. Quite a num ber of parties have entered the sewer. Extensions of the water mains in clude a pipe on Maple Street from Mar ket Square to the new Grange Hall, with a bydrant, about 1400 feet on High Street, north from Penley Street, with two hydrants, and about 550 feet on Gary Street, with a hydrant, and a small pipe to the new house of E. C. Torrey, making a total length of 2336 feet. A notable piece of work is the 72-foot bridge of reenforced concrete bailt across Stony Brook, nesr the old Grange Hall. This bridge is calculated to hold a load of thirty tons, and if It fulfills ex pectations, should remain good, practi cally without cost for maintenance, dur ing tbe lifetime of most if not all the present inhabitants of the town. This bridge, which cost about $2700, and a steel bridge across the stream north ol Trap Corner, were built by the town this year. Oscar Q. Mason Loses Right Hand. THROWS IT INTO PLANER WHEN HE SLIPS ON THE FLOOR. While at work in the factory of thi Paris Manufacturing Co. Saturday after noon, Oscar G. Mason met with an acci· dent which resulted in the loss of hii right band.
