You have quite likely read about

Ithey would suffer. Here’s our reason
for thinking as we do.
Back in 1890 the chief burgess of
(the late County Treasurer
Stager) had arrested the high

given a hearing in a few
days. You will all remember the
constable didn’t get off very easily
either.

WILL BUILD HOUSES;
GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE
This forenoon Realtor Jno. E.
Schroll sold a tract of land that will
be the, first stepping stone toward re-
lief as to the shortage of houses here.
He sold a plot of ground west of the
former Seitz property, which fronts
349 feet on a new street to be
opened by the Bachman Chocolate
Manufacturing Company. It was
purchased by Messrs. E. S. Gerberich
and H. S. Newcomer, who contem-
plate the erection of at least a dozen
houses thereon.
This plot of ground was owned by
Mrs. Benjamin Baer of Salunga. The
terms of sale were private.
This is certainly a step in the
right direction and here’s hoping oth-
ers will assist in relieving the house
shortage problem here.
