ASK BOARD TO CONDEMN LOTS.
Street Car Company Desires COndem-
nation of Morton and COnkey
Avenues Corners.

The question of condemning the
corners of two lots on Morton and
Conkey avenues was matter of dis
cussion before the board of public
works this morning The action is re-
quested in behalf of the street car
company.
At this time the board is not very
much inclined to condemn the property
preferring that the company deal
directly with the property holders. The
franchise that was granted the street
car company allows the laying Of
tracks over Conkey, Calumet and Nor
ton avenues and the board desires that
the company follow its franchise right
of way along the streets where it was
at first intended, the tracks should be
! laid.
| The company finds, however, that II
cannot round the curve on Morton ave
nue. on account of the presence of the
/ Chicago and Erie tracks.
A. Burk, representing the Standard
/ Oil company and manager of the stor-
age house on the north side, appeared
before the board to ask its aid IN Sc
curing a better driveway from the
Standards place of business. liz
agreed to deliver four car loads OF
cinders to be put on the streets by the
city.
The petition of the Lake CONSTRUCTION
company for a sidetrack from tn
terminal tracks to it's plant site, wa
taken under Amusement.

our dearly beloved wife and mother,
Mrs. Nancy A. Hanes, who died one
year ago yesterday, March 2f, 1906:
Dearest mother, how we've missed you,
In the year that just rolled by,
Since you left US, sad and lonely
For your home up in the sky
Though you're gone, you are not for
gotten,
And your place can ne'er be filled,
We will keep your memory sacred
TIL our hearts in death are stilled
From her husband, children and
grand children.

Now that the roof has been put on
portions Of the enormous building
where steel cars are to be manufac-
tured at the Standard Steel Car com
pany's plant, the machinery which
was timed to arrive when the plant had
reached this stage of building is be-
ginning to come in.
Tons of it are arriving every day and
the parts are being rapidly installed in
the proper places. The buildings are
rising rapidly and the plant looks more
like a birth place for steel cars than
ever before.
