MAYOR MAY LEASE
HIS FLOWER STORE
Business Peopls After Breitmeyer
Premises and Deal Will Be Made
II Germs Ale Satisfactory.

Pingree square may soon have a
new business firm added to Its list
of merchants. For some time busi-
ness men have been negotiating with
Mayor Breitmeyer for a lease OF his
floral shop at Broadway and Gratiot-
ave-, but thus far he has declined to
make deal with any Of them. He
told The Times, Saturday, that, he
wouldn't have time to consider the
matter until after the holiday rush.
II have secured lease Of the store
next TO our own building on Broad
eide to convert that place Into q dow
er shop. In the event OF my doing
SO, would, Of course, be ready to
lease our present store. However,
IL can't make good bargain with
those after the store now occupy,
shall stay right where am and
rent tn estore on which I have secur-
ed the lease. The store next door Is
not in very good condition, and it is
my intention to make 1t a credit to
the neighborhood. My lease OF that
store, however, does not take effect
until the first OF May. next year. so
| have no reason to be in q hurry
about the proposed changes.
About year ago certain business
parties wanted to rent my store and
the two stores to the north of us on
Broadway, including the one on
which | now hold lease. The three
places were wanted for the purpose
of establishing a departmental store.
| then held the lease on the premises
next door to our store and the plans
of the departmental store people
didn't go through"
"Will the Offices In the upper floors
be included in any lease you may
give on your present store?" was
asked OF the mayor.
No" he said, the lease will GOV.
er nothing but the store floor. But,
as | said, the store may not be leased
at ALL | will certainly let no one
have 1t unless | can rent II to ad-
vantage, for | can very easily rent
the store next door, which | have
leased from the Jones estate, to good
advantage any time. With a little
fixing up this place will be a very
desirable piece of property"
The mayor declined 10 say who the
persons are who want to rent his
store.

even appealed to Mayor Breitmeyer
the fountain head OF the Aldrich op
position, Saturday morning, but re-
ceived no encouragement there. The
mayor told him frankly that he had
asked Commissioner Haarer TO ap
point another man.
Aldrich's fate, therefore, would
seem to rest in the commissioner
hands Haarer dislikes to discharge
any man unless there are good rea
sons. The mayor has asked for Aid
richs removal not solely because OF
Aldrich's activity In behalf OF Proc
tor X. Owens, but on the ground that
he has not properly performed his
work. There are other things, how
ever, that must be taken into consid

ment?
However, from sources close TO. the
administration II IL learned that the
commissioner practically has decided
on a successor to Aldrich, politician
well-known around the city hall, who
is regarded as live wire. Haarer
was in conference with this man for
more than an hour, Friday after
noon, and 1t Ia understood that the
matter was settled at that time. 1t
may be that Aldrich already has re-
ceived noice. At all events, he was
very busy Saturday morning.
"All | can say Is that | have asked
Mr.. Haarer to make a change In the
street cleaning department" said the
mayor to The Times 81 have given
him the name Of a man who, know,
will properly perform the duties OF

like to see appointed. OF course,

WAYNE COUNTY
, IS OVERLOOKED
No One From This District Slated
For State Job Under
Coz. Osborn.

The fact thai Wayne county seems
to be overlooked by Gov .-elect Osborn
in making up his list of appointments.
IL the list already published prove
correct. is likely to call forth a pro-
test from some of the politicians here.
The governor was supposed to give
out his list Saturday, but up to late
hour no word had been received from
the 500.
II Is learned from sources pretty
close to the governor that the list
as already published, will be about
correct 1t Is regarded az settled here,
for instance, that George b. Horton,
of Fruit Ridge will succeed William
III. Hoyt, OF Plymouth, on the state
tax commission. This will leave
Wayne without representation on this
commission, the one. above all others,
in which this county is interested. The
appointment OF Perry F. Powers as
labor commissioner, which Is under
stood to be practically settled, is an
other that will leave some sore spots.
Detroit has three candidates for the
place, John Clarken, George Duncan
and William H. Blackstone, and from
these the politicians feel that the gov
ernor could make an excellent selec-
ton. Powers, however, has an old
claim for the governors favor. His
influence secured Osborn the appoint
ment as state game warden under
John r. Rich. Powers, moreover,
worked hard for Osborn in the recent
campaign.
There seems to be no doubt but
that w. r. Oates, of Larium, will be
governors secretary. This job Is un-
derstood to be only temporary, how
ever, for Mr. Oates Is slated to sue
coed Charles Pierce as game warden
next July. II is not regarded as
likely that q Wayne man will have
a look-in for the secretaryship after
Oates steps out. The governor
naturally would want to appoint a
close personal friend and one pre-
ferably from his own section.
William Wallace, general manager
of the Michigan Sugar Co.; Walter
Hunsaker, partner with Osborn In
the ownership of the Saginaw Cour-
ier-erald, and Johnny Baird. of Sag
NAV. are the men who are credited
with having had the most to say
about the appointments. Baird Is
satisfied to take the salt inspector
ship for himself.

munication to the common council
some time ago, stated that 1t would
be possible under the new constitu-
ton for the city to regulate service
and rates of a telephone or telegraph
company hereafter entering the city,
and he thinks that the powers ex-
tend In a measure to the companies
now doing business.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Dec. S.--The

Dudley A. Sargent, Harvard's famous
strength expert, who has examined
athletes innumerable OF both sexes.
He shows that the woman OF today
Is more masculine than her sister or
20 years ago. He hopes her future de-
velopment will retrograde instead OF
going forward IL mans supremacy Is
to exist in world affairs. Women have
broader shoulders and thicker necks
than those of 20 years ago. This Is
due to the corset waists, employing
masculine exercises and working at
mans employment. On the other
hand. man Is going backward, chang
ing from the over developed Sandow
into an effeminate and foppish crea-
ture.
