MOTOR CYCLE
FOR POLICE
Aldermen FavorabIyImpress-
ed With Idea Expressed IN
Message Of Mayor.
SHERIDAN ST. SEWER

At committee meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night the
idea of purchasing motor cycle for
the police department was favorably
discussed. The aldermen believe that
it would be a great advantage, espec-
tally in chasing speeding autoists, be-
sides being useful in cases of emer-
gency; for instance, when hurry
call came for an officer.
While it was not decided last night
to purchase the cycle, 1t is probable
that one will be ordered In the near
future. The idea of having motor
cycle for the police department was
one of the recommendations embod-
led in Mayor Bollschweiler's annual
message.
The proposed sewer system for the
western part of the city was also dis
cussed and at the meeting Monday
night an ordinance to provide for the
building of the sewer on I'm enlarged
plan, will be introduced. 1t will be
remembered that the plans for a sew
er In the western section OF the city
were held up some time ago by the
State Sewerage Commission because it
was not large enough. The new plans
now comply fully with the law.
Those present last night were AL
derman-at-Large Voorhees, and Alder
men Cannon, Dalton and Larson.
With the exception of the two dis
eussions, most of the evening was de-
voted to signing bills.

SMITH
STREET STORE
Roth & Leichtman, Furniture
Dealers, to Occupy Therk-
elson's--Shed Removed.
GROCERY FOR MARKET ST.

After standing on Smith street for
many years the shed over the sidewalk
in front Of Y. P. Therkelson & Son 3
grocery store at 107 Smith street is
being torn down today. The shed, Mr..
Therkelson said this morning, was
erected in 1885 and is still in good
condition.
As was told in the NEWS last week
Mayor Bollschweiler had decided to
take steps to have the several sidewalk
that Mr.. TLerkelson has removed his,
it is believed that the other property
owners will follow suit.
The store has been leased to Roth
& Leichtman, furniture dealers, for six
years and they will take possession on
August /, Mr.. Therkelson stated this
morning. A few days ago Mr.. Their
kelson purchased the Koyen property
at Market and Prospect streets, where
he will erect new store.
Mr.. Therkelson says that his business
is mostly house trade and that it does
not matter whether the store is on
Smith or Market street. Plans will be
prepared at once for the new store on
Market street, so that it will be ready
for occupancy by August l.
Roth & Leichtman at present have
two furniture stores on State street
and plan to make number of improve
ments at the place they have just
leased, before moving in. 1t is an
ideal place for furniture store on ac-
count Of the driveway from Smith
street, which leads to yard and stable
in the rear.
