The committee reported that
plans for a story bull
ding had been accepted and
a conditional contract had been
entered into for the construc-
ton of the building to cost ap-
proximately $540,00O.
The new building will have a
frontage of 115 # on Pennsyl-
vania street and GIL # on Wash
ington st. Though it will have
fourteen stories it will by equiv
alent in height to a Is story
building, by reason of the high
auditorium which will occupy
the top floor.
This reminds us of the talk of

The FirecracIler Law.

Many inquiries have been
made with regard to the time
the new firecracker law will go
into effect. The law was passed
at the last meeting of the state
legislature and pertains to
blank cartridges and crackers
OF certain sizes. However this
year blank cartridges and all
explosives will be lawful as
heretofore, but of course with
the usual restrictions. There
is one thing certain, however,
and that is, that the shooting Of
fire crackers and all other
explosives should be prohibited
until the proper time comes,
and not to have the celebration
extend over a period of several
week. In the cities the authori-
ties are getting more strict
every year in enforcing the
laws and the deat'l rate has
been cut down considerably
thereby. The new law will
not take effect until January /,
