Houds have I'fcee'u ' sold for the building, pvhich will be an architectural Ppodel, of dimensions not to e outgrown under ordinary londitions even at Elizabeth pity's present rate of expau tsion within ten years or linger, and of facilities, not Sexcellesl iu any market house 'till the South. The refrigera Sting plant alone will cost ten i rHiousand dollars, it is said. r The architects are Mitchell Wilcox. The structure that "will be erected under their KUpervision will be of brick fin ished ' in terra cotta' and of fireproof construction. It is designed with especial atten tion to sanitation, as every uiovlern market is designed. Jo lHsplay cases are to be install ed for domestic meats, game, poultry, fish, oysters dairy and farm products-, etc., and the fresh foods will thus be at tractively exhibited as well as kept in the best of condition. The cold storage plant in the house will Im a real feature. The refrigerating machinery in tended to be installed is of the handily to the building, .if course, will be under' the wupervision' of ' tbti city health 'department to a great extent. Betsy realize just vrliat the Russell Sage Foundation recently told the city authorities of Springfield 111., at the conclusion of an ex haustive economic survey of that typical Western munici palitythat to increase its health rate and preserve the lives of its citizens, it is nec essary for a town to spend money, a sufficiency of money. The TMct tire City of Eastern Car olina is spending a reasonable amount of money to decrease its mortality rate, and the in vestment is proving an excellent one. Architect Mitchell says' of the new market: "It will he n surprise to know that a large part of the cost of a modern market is taken up by the equipment.'' referring par ticularlv in this instance to the refrigerating plant. The cold storage compartments ''will e built of compressed cork," and very latest patterns, economi-1 refrigeration can be accomplish cal ih the space it will oc- ed at a miii h less cost in coin cupy and very efficient in op-lparisun than it can in smaller eratiou.

They are v.dmiters with two or three exceptions. Promptness is the way Elizabeth City firemen keep down the loss. The department was organ i zed in 1ST::, when the old Al be.niai'le Fire Company icaiue into lx-iiig. It holds many records made at firemen's com petitions for ;iiik steaming and long distance throwing. On 'one occasion, from the time Hie match was touched to the fuel until a stream was thrown from the nozzle at the end of forty eight feet of hose. lust three minutes and two seconds elapsed.
