MORE ROOM.

By Editor

To relieve the crowded condition of nearly all the departments of our Office, the trustees of the Publishing Association have decided to build the two east office buildings together, and the work has already commenced. All the space between the buildings will be occupied, and the two buildings will then be one block. The central portion will be carried up three stories.

There are now occupied, in editorial rooms, counting room, shipping rooms, type rooms, press room, boiler and engine rooms, folding and mailing rooms, book bindery, and stereotype and electrotype departments, about 13,000 square feet of floor space. The addition we are now making will provide something over 7000 feet more, making about 20,000 in all.

The cost will be comparatively small, the two buildings are situated so advantageously for this purpose. Besides the inside work, it will be necessary to build but little more than the front and rear ends, and put on the roof. The space thus inclosed, being nearly equal to that of two of our present buildings, can be fitted up at an expense not much exceeding one-half the cost of one. The room is greatly needed, and will be an immense help in the publishing work,
