The wooden structures on the south side of the square are being torn down and we
understand that contracts have already been let for five 2-story bricks to be built
in their places. It is also understood that the wooden buildings on the north side of
the square will be torn down and bricks erected in their stead. Down on Rat Row, the
building, which was used by the bowling alley, has been torn down and a corrugated
iron building is under course of construction.
