Considerable difficulty was exper-
fenced in moving the Porter building
across Fourth street, from the number
OF wires of the Light and Power and
Telephone companies which had to be
cut. To interfere little as possible
with this service, it was arranged to
pass over the ,horoughfare Wednesday
night, but after night of hard labor
the building had only reached point
which completely blocked all traffic
on the street. 1t took all of yesterday
to get the building across the thor

yet united to restore the Car and tele-
phone business to its usual efficiency.
