BRO. "U. S." furnishes the above engraving of the New-Office Building. It is a view from the north-west, and differs from the first plan—a floor view of which was given in Review for July 16—in that the rear, to the right, is twenty-six by eighteen, instead of twenty by eighteen, and two stories instead of one. The front on the north is twenty-six by twenty, the center is forty-four east and west by twenty-six, and the rear on the south is twenty-six by eighteen. This gives abundance of room for our present business, and would be sufficient for an increase of tenfold.
The building is a good one. The material was good, and the builders have shown themselves masters of their business. Their energy and promptness, combined with mildness and a good degree of Christian patience, has won the highest regard and esteem of the trustees, and a good reputation in the community. We regard it as one of the providential favors to the cause in which we are engaged, that Brn. Jones and Day, assisted by Bro. Leighton, were our builders. The cost of the building, including hoisting apparatus, cistern and eave troughs, new machinery and fixtures to run the engine and press, and a comfortable fitting out of tables, shelves, drawers, chairs, stoves, &c. &c., will cost not far from five thousand dollars.
The Association is in debt about four thousand dollars, and depends upon unpaid pledges, and the liberality of the friends of the cause generally to meet this.
