DOING AWAY WeTH FRILLS All the fancy work is being remov- ed from the top of the Hydro building,: and the little peaks of brick are being straightened off. This building, erected in 1881, was built when it wasn't considered a sin against architecture] 'taste to add a bit of beauty to a building, so it was adorned with a few peaks, rounded window sash and some ornamental fancy work in wood. Unfortunately, wood is perishable and; the whirligigs adorning these peaks and gables have rotted and aro falling off. No doubt it would cost too much to have all this wooden trimming replaced, even if any place could be fonnd where they turned out such stuff, so the Public Utilities Commission is hav- ing them all removed and the top of the building straightened off. Will it detract from or add to the beauty of building? Oh, well, thatt is a matte f taste, i o a no doubt. But the writer is no admirer of the new -fash- ioned, factory-like bpildings which seem -to be the architectural style nowadays. However, the rotting trim- mings might have started tumbling down on eur heads had they been al- lowed to retrain. TITTLE LOCALS Principal E. A.
