The contract was let yestrday to Nets

lng of a larger building which it Is In
tended to put up on the site, which stands
Immediately east of the office of the Wat
xlns Coal and Lumber company and which
It la estimated will entail an expenditure
of tTS.fTiO. When the entire structure has
been raised it will constitute one of the
f nem architectural additions to the city In
reent years.
Ground has been broken for ttie building
contemplated at present and it Is expe. ted
to have the grading completed within sixty
nays If the present favorable weather con
tinues. This section will be 22M feet and
will be a two-story structure with base
ment. It win be so constructed as readily
to fit Inio the general plan and will con
tain two sets of bath rooms and cooling
rooms and will be supplied with perfect
ser.itary equipment. Provision will be
made for the treatment of rheumatism
and such ailments. The bath house, when
the plans which have been prepared by J.
Jeffrey Dave architect, Omaha, have
been carried Into execution, will be a
building 60x101 feet. It will be of flre
pioof construction.
The necessity for proceeding with the
work at the present time arises from the
desire to move the present bath house from
Its location at Twenty-first and 8 streets
to a more central position and one that
will be In Immediate touch with the street
car system. The Twenty-fourth snd "cross
town" cars pass by the site selected for the

and models that aro as truly made for you as though
