ing Leased for
It's Use.

From electric carriages to the plain
to be the future of the new building of
the Automobile Company, on King
street. The structure, which was erect
ed for the housing of the horseless car
riages, was yesterday leased to the
StockyardS Company for use as it's
headquarters, and will be occupied at
once.
The building will be used as the
store house for the carriages of the
| stables. for the harness store and the
repair shops, while the blacksmithing
will be done in the rear. At the same
time the Stockyards Company secured
the corner lot adjoining the building
and viii there erect the sheds, which
will be torn down from the present site
There are several sheds which We're not
destroyed In the recent fire, and these
win be torn down and re-erected on the
new land. These sheds will be used for
the accommodation of the stable horses
and those which are left in their charge
as well.
| Meanwhile the corrals which are on
the old site will be used for the horses
kept in stock by the Yards for sale.
The moving of the sheds for stalls to
the lots adjoining the Automobile build
ing will bring the horses which are in
constant use close to the vehicles. The
arrangement was made possible
through the courtesy of Manager Hoogs
of the Automobile Company, who Of
fered such terms as made it advanta-
geouS for the Stockyards to take the
building for their use at once. 1t is eX-
pected that this site will be occupied
by the stable company for at least six
months.
Although there was a majority of the
stock in the corporation represented at
the meeting of the board of directors of
the Stockyards yesterday, it was de-
cfded that the question of the re-erec-
ton of the building should be left to
a meeting Of the stockholders of the
company, which will be called for some
| time within the next two weeks. At
that time it is expected that the mat
ter of insurance all will be adjusted.
When that is done the net loss will be
obtainable, and it is deemed wise to
have this before the stockholders be-
fore they make determination as to the
future. Several of the members of the
board gave as their opinion that there
should be erected upon the old site a
two-story building which will be fire.
proof in it's entirety, and that the en-
| tire plot be filled in to the level of the
street. The adjustment of the insur-
ance is going on rapidly and there
seems every reason to believe that Sec
rotary Ward and Adjustor Gurrey will
get together very soon. Meanwhile the
securing of the new location will en-
able the company to carry on its bust
ness in all it's branches as before the
| fire. No decision has been reached as
to the disposition of the unburned por-
| ton of the building which was under
construction on the King street side of
the main structure. The heaviest loss
falls on the contractor, who carried no
insurance.
| Among the decisions reached at the
meeting of the directors of the COM
| pany was one to permit the faithful
Waterman of the stables, Joe Silva, TO
have a home free of rent. There will be
erected on the grounds a cottage which
will be furnished complete with the
ncessaries. and in this the Waterman
and his family will be housed, in recog-
milton of his services during the fire.
This decision was reached by the unani-
nous vote of the board.
Treasurer Ward reported that during
| Saturday and Sunday the searchers of
| the stables had recovered four of the
| animals which had wandered away
during the fire.
