Lloyd Preacher in City Yester day—Declares Absurd the Report That the Empire Will Be Transformed Into a Hotel—Work Progressing Rapidly, He Says. Mr. W. L. Stoddard, of New York, who, with Mr. G. Lloyd Preacher, of Augusta, Is associate architect for the Empire Life Insurance Company’s 17 story office building and also the Chronicle's 10 story building, was tn the city yesterday. It was his first visit to Augusta since the erection of steel on the two buildings began. Mr. Stoddart declared that both buildings were progressing splendidly. He said that the 15th of May the Empire's steel work would be complet ed to the top of the tower, a height of X 7 stories from the basement. The main part of the building will be 12 stories, including the basement, while the tower will go up four stories ad ditional. Asked about the report that the Em pire building might be converted into a hotel, Mr. Stoddart said that the ides was absurd. "The plans were drawn for an office building and it would be utterly im practicable and almost impossible to transform it Into hotel," said Mr. Stod dart, "and, besides, it would never pay as a hotel." The plan to convert one of Augusta's office buildings into a hotel originated in the mind of a promlneift citizen who thought that inasmuch as Augus ta needed a hotel badly and was to have two office buildings that the Chronicle building might lie converted into a hotel. This was found to be im practicable and then talk drifted to the Empire. It can be stated with ab solute assurance that neither building will tie transformed into a hotel. The Empire will complete the tenth story during this week. The brick, terracotta work, flooring and other work is progressing splendidly. By Tuesday night the entire first floor of brick will be complete. Supt. Crane, General Foreman Pet ers, Foreman Eddie AUodyce.of the S. C. White leghorn. Indian Runner Ducks.
