Of the sentence, which was for two years
Frost also changed plea of not guilty to
a charge of burglary in the third degree to
guilty, and was given two years and six
months on that charge. Assistant County At
torney Purdy stated to the court that in the
indictment for robbing the Bryn Mawr street

such that each room Will have outside ex-
posure and none will have less than two

which will enable changes to be made in
the suites so as to increase or decrease the
number Of rooms. The entire building is
tC be occupied as dwelling, and there are
to be no stores or cafe. No provision has
been made for a laundry in the basement,
but If 1t is found necessary to have laun-
dry in connection with the house. a build
ing especially adapted for the purpose will
