Monon May Have New Three-Room Business Block.

Monon News. ,4 - Plans are about matured for a new three-room business house with hall rooms above which will be erected as soon asthe building season opens. The new structure will join the Pogue building, occupied by N. L. Canders, on the south and will have a frontage of 60 feet and depth of 80 feet The first story is to be erected by W. J. Hinkle, owner of the ground, and the Knights of Pythias will complete the second story for use of their lodge. We understand that two of the business rooms are already engaged for occupancy, but that Mr. Hinkle does not contemplate removal from his present location. The K. of P’s., which has become of the strongest lodge numerically, will occupy the entire upper floor, affording one of the most commodious and best arranged halls in the country. The assurance of this new building forecasts an important business improvement this season.
