UTILIZE PARK FOR a BUILDING
City School Might be Erected In Rees
Park

The matter of providing additional
school facilities is one confronting
Americas and will command early
action upon the part of the school
authorities. Already the school build
ings here have reached the capacity
point and no more pupils can be taken
in at Furlow School, while the small
school at Rees Park Is filled up as we'll.
AS Rees Park is owned by the city,
and will probably never be utilized for
park purposes, the suggestion is made
that new and modern school building
be erected in the centre of the park for
all the primary grades. If such a build
ing, accommodating 800 pupils, should
be erected there the higher grades at
Furlow School would have all the room
required for many years. The subject
will doubtless be considered at the next
meeting of the city board of education.

BOND ELECTION IS REQUESTED
To p. Divide Funds for Another School
Building.

The city board of education in reg
ular meeting last night discussed the
pressing needs of more room for pupils
adopted resolution requesting the
city council to call an election looking
to the issue of bonds in the sum of
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting an
other school building in Americas.
The city council will meet tomorrow
night, and will be waited upon by a
committee from the board of education
which will present and urge favorable
action upon the resolution.

COMPANY WILL REBUILD PLANT
Car Works Recently Burned Will BE

1t has been decided by the directors
of the South Atlantic Car and Manu-
featuring Company to rebuild their
plant in Savannah, to remove the gem
eral offices from Waycross to that city
and to commence the work of construct
ing one of the largest and most modern
plants of the kind in the South just as
soon as the insurance adjusters have
finished their work. Mr.. Frank McGee,
formerly of Americas, is an official of
this great company, which not only has
contracts with many railroads here for
building cars but will also construct
several hundred for the Panama rail

search of a dwelling house and, failing
to find an empty one which could oc-
cupy, have finally been forced as a
last resor to rent three small rooms.
and into these | will install my family
when they arrive here. ~
Such was The statement made the
Times Recorder yesterday by a gentle
man who has come here to reside.
He has a fine position here, makes
good salary, and would probably be
glad to pay $50 or even more for n
modest four or five room cottage con-
veniently situated to his work.
And this is the complaint made al
most daily; this lack of houses. Amer
icus is growing rapidly, new people
are coming here, attracted by the
abundance of work to be had this year,
yet there are no houses for them; not a
shelter of ally kind can be had.
Still, there are acres upon acres OF
vacant land in the city, and lumber
yards are very near at hand.
This matter of residences for the peo-
pie has reached an acute stage. 1t is
up to the point where the Board OF
Trade should take it up and see if some
of our capitalists could not be induced
| to invest money in residences Of mod
crate size, moderate pretensiOns and
moderate cost.
What Americas needs, and badly at
that, is about 200 new residences to be
erected between now and next fall
These residences should be to rent from
about $3.50 TO S25 per month. With
such homes Americas can grow, with
ont them it cannot.

THE GREAT TOBACCO BUSINESS.

For a backward spring, and sum
mer, the bank clearings for the last
three weeks have made a fine show
ing over last year, and indicate what
would have been If conditions had
been normal. June is keeping up in a
way that ought to at least show the
first half of the year, in spite of the
depression, as good as the cores
ponding period of 1906. Retail and
wholesale trades show little change
for the better. A generally depressed
business world has been held up by
a strong tobacco market, and by the
impulse Of prosperity received from
1906.
Wheat will be harvested around Pa
ducah within few weeks. IL has
done better than expected and the
farmers will have money to spend.
Corn is backward and farm products
generally will show a falling off this
year but an unfavorable season as
widely extended in area as this one,
does not seem to be able to put a
lid on the industrial world.

HOUSEBREAKERS
ARE MERE YOUTHS
Caught in Possession of Brass
From Residence
Stripped Vacant House of Metal and
Took Knucks From Prospective
Customer.
TWO CHARGES AGAINST ONE.

Charged with housebreaking, Ed
gar Holland and John Nicholson,
boys about 16 years of age, were ar
rested this morning at Ninth and
Harrison streets by Detective T. j.
Moore. A search revealed a miscel-
laneous supply of articles on their
persons, developing in addition a
second charge against Holland OF
carrying concealed a deadly weapon,
and a third charge of petit larceny.
The original felony is unique.
A residence at 319 Monroe street
owned by Mrs. NJ X Scott, is vacant,
and when the boys were seen to come
out OF 1t this morning, suspicion was
aroused. An investigation developed
that they had broken into the house
from the rear, knocked off brass and
copper door knobs, unscrewed fau-
Gets from the kitchen sink and from
the bath and toilet rooms They
made clean sweep of everything in
brass and copper fixtures.
Detective Moore Immediately noti-
fled all junk dealers to watch out for
anyone selling brass and copper
junk, and at o'clock the boys show
ed up at the Kentucky Steel and Iron
company, Ninth and Harrison streets,
operated by Julius Tick. Detective
Moore arrived in time to catch the
with the goods on them.
They protested their innocence, and
when the city hall was reached and a
search made two-pound iron knucks
were found on the Holland boy. 1t
was identified as one belonging to
Mr.. Tick and was evidently lifted"
while the boys prepared to sell junk
taken from the Scott residence. When
Nicholson was searched big Ratchet
and a screw driver were found inside
his coat lining. The formal charge
of housebreaking was entered against
them and in addition the Holland boy
may be prosecuted for stealing the
iron knucks and for carrying con-
cealed deadly weapon.
Edgar Holland Is brother of
Herbert Holland. now in the state
The Nicholson boy is
the son of an insurance writer of 51S
North Sixth street. The Holland boy
is the son of widow residing at
925 North Eighth street.
. For several weeks thieves have
been entering vacant houses and
stealing brass and copper fixtures.
and it is thought the two boys are re-
sponsible for the greater part of the
thefts.
