The Street and Water Commissioners
laughed when they learned what was

the answer was a very easy one.
During the past month there have
been several breaks in the mains which
necessitated repairs being made at night
OF course the men had to work overtime,

NOT FOR Mr.. HoOs
Ex-Mayof Will Not Lease
the Old Brown and Van
Anglen Store.

After all that has been said about ex-
Mayor Edward Hoos leasing the build
ing formerly occupied by the dissolved
firm of 7. c. Brown & Van 1Anglen Com
pany, at Nos. 21. % and % Newark
avenue, it was learned this morning that

and that the store was again to let.
In 'sThe News" of last Tuesday il was
announced for the first time that Mr..
Hoos intended to re-enter commercial life
and had leased the Brown & Van Anglen
building with the intention Of opening a
large furniture establishment there. The
announcement created considerable gos-
sip among business men in general and
especially the innumerable friends OF
Mr.. Hoos in this city. Many were ready
to congratulate the ex-Mayor upon his
good fortune in securing a lease on such
desirable store property.
Mr.. Hoos acknowledged that he had
leased the store. The ITO LETT signs
were removed from the windows and
estimates We're about to be received fol
altering the interior of the building.
Then came the report that Mr.. Hoos
had changed his mind and had with
drawn from his contract The report
created no little surprise, especially when
connected with the fact that desirable
store property on Newark avenue is be.
coming scarcer each year.
An effort was made by a reporter for
'sThe News" to Sc Mr.. Hoos today. but
he was not in town. It was said, how
ever. that he had decided not to lease
the building for personal reasons.
