NJ. MEGARY & Son WILL ENLARGE.
M. Megary & Son have purchased the
Sixth street property adjoining their
already large establishment at Sixth
and Tatnell streets, and will shortly
begin the erection of an addition to the
present structure, whereby their floor
space will be more than doubled. The
purchasers are to have possession in
two weeks. They will tear down the
present structure and will erect an en-
tirely new one as an addition to the
present store. The whole front of the
store will be new. The present store
has frontage of 33 feet; the adjoining
property has frontage of 43 feet, and
both have depth of 40 feet. The ad-
ditiOn will be four stories high and of
brick, and will be connected with the
present structure by the tearing out of
the side wall.
TALKING OF ADJOURNMENT The
members of both houses of the General
Assembly are now talking of final ad-
jOurnment, but no one has a definite
idea of when that much longed for
event will occur. Sometime ago the
members of the House appeared about
ready to adjourn, but the Senate was
not ready. Now the Senate is nearly
ready for final adjournment, but
the members of the House are not.
The General Assembly has yet to con-
slider the various taxation bills, and
the election bills and the railroad COM
mission act, while the Farnhurst in
vestigation is yet to be made. Of
course some of these matters may be
dropped, but it is hardly possible that
they will be. If all of the subjects now
before the General Assembly are con-
sidered final adjournment will not be
reached for at least three weeks.
