GOlDMAN'S ADDITION
 DESIRES PROTECTION
The People There Are Anxious for a Water Main and Closer Fire Fight ing Apparatus.

In the account of the business tram sacted by the city council last Thurs day evening. an item of importance was inadvertently overlooked in yester- day mornings paper.
 The committee appointed to make certain recommendations regarding the needs of the fire department, rec commended that the east Tempe hose cart house be moved to a more cen- tral location on Eighth street. where 1t will be just as handy for east Tenn pc and practically as near the main part of town in case its use might be required here. It was proposed to make the new location just across from the northeast corner of the Normal. This move will quite likely be decided upon as soon as satisfactory arrange ments can be made for the purchase or rent of a suitable lot.
 The residents of Goldman's addition are especially anxious that this change should be made. There is no part of Tempe that has enjoyed SO rapid a growth in the past few years as this addition, and the residents thereof feel that that part of the town has now reached proportion where it is entitled to better fire protection. The move on foot to have a water main extended the full length of McAllister street Is another part of the scheme for better protection. and 1t is hoped that in due time the city will see its way clear to make this extension.

MRS. R. {. ANDRE
 DIED IN GERMANY
She Passed Away at the Home of Her Mother in Berlin on August 22nd.

H. H. Griest yesterday morning re- ceived a letter from Miss Helma Andre from Berlin. Germany. announcing the death of her mother. Mrs. R. G. Andre, at that place on the 22nd of last month Mrs. Andre and Helma left here in April last. expecting to be away some four or five months. after spending the summer with relatives in Berlin and other parts of Germany. Some time after arriving there, Mrs. Andre was stricken with an attack of paralysis. Word to that effect was received here in due time, but it was not given out that her condition was especially alarming. and. nothing having been heard since. it was naturally presumed that her health was better. This sup position was further confirmed by the fact that few days ago Mr. Griest had a cable message from Miss Andre on business matters and no reference was then made to her mother. though she had passed away several weeks before the wire was sent. The letter. therefore, yesterday morning giving the information of her death was quite a surprise to Tempe people and gen. erally regretted. Mrs. Andre was with her mother and sister in Berlin during her fatal illness and death.
 In her letter yesterday, Miss Andre said little about her future plans. further than that she does not expect to return to America, but will remain in Berlin with her grandmother and aunt. The Andres owned considerable property here at one time, though a
