THE NEW PALER HOUSE. Another Modern Hotel for Patton. ELEGANT FURNITURE. the California millionaire and TU. 8S. Complete in all its Appointments It is the Pritle of Nothern Cambria. When Patton was first conceived and brought into existence, it was found essential to the full develope- ment of the town, that good buildings should be one of the predominating influences. With this end in view, and knowing that & first-class hotel in Pat-. ton was a necessity, Messrs. George S. Good, A. E. Patton and Hon. James Kerr, on the 20th day of June list, con-- tracted with 8. H. Ever, of Lock Hav- en, now doceased, for the erection of a hotel that would be a lasting credit to its projectors and the town. The _ plans of architect, C. M. Robinson, of the firm of Robinson & Snyder, of Altoona und Philadelphia, were ac- cepted, and the result of this wise act is, that Patton has the most convenient and finest hotel in Cambria county. In fact, Pennsylvania can boast of very few better, and none more com- modious. ‘The building is a four story one, with slated mansard roof, and finished throughout in . nataral wood. The house is heated by steam generated in an eighty horsepower, Ricker water tube, none-explosive boiler, manufac- tared by Ricker, Gould & Co., Patton, | Pa. The boiler is encased in brick and gives excellent satisfaction. The forty- two radiators in the building heat the house comfortably in the coldest weather. The Novelty Electric com- pany, of Williamsport, under the di- rection - of E. C.. Brown, wired the “building. Outlets for push buttons are provided in the rooma = The electric | lights are controlled by a switch in the . office, and one in the bed room of Mr. Robinson, the proprietor.

The Sewer Not Paid For by Taxntion of the Citizens of the Borough. A good many of the people of Patton - are under the impression that the sewer! whieh is laid from Fifth avenue to Chest | Creek was construétad by ‘an increase- tax placed upon the property owners. ‘of this borough.” The rumor, however, is anforinded as the people of Fifth avenue recognizing the necessity fora sewer a majority of them petioned council to construct the same, the cost’ of said sewer to be paid for by propety : owners on both sides of the street con- taining sewer, who were assessed $20 for every J30-foot front. A private sewer was first talked of but was con- cluded to make it a public one as the result would be vastly more economi- cal. After the sewer was finished there was found to be a balance of between | $80 to $100 which was turned into the | treasury for maintainance of sewer and | . borough expenses. Fine Workmanship. Mr. Patrick -Schenley, who did the fancy stone cufting which adorns the front. of the Good building, has com- pleted a carriage block which for beauty of design and finish is a striking model of his handicraft. The block is of sandstone, its dimensions being 2 feet | 3 inches x 4 feet, with an oval step which is surmounted on either side by | beautifully carved brackets. Mr. ‘Schenley has given the best years of hin | life to a long and careful study of his| protession, and the ingenuity and taste displayed in arranging the ornamental | details show to a marked degree his artistic abilities, his aim being to com- | ‘bine otility with simplicity in which! idea he was eminently successful: The . block will be placed in front of the Issues 8 Monthly Guide Book.
