Our idea of a soft 'eoa in the leg

man of this rara avis in the 1911 ses-

independent as you might think. He let
some one or more Diffievendors bluff
him into voting against the National

ped on the wrist. Outside of that, as
Dick Thomas would put it, he is all
right. His name is Hines, and he
comes from Scott county, which is out
in the short grass, and he doesn't have
to care more than whoop and a half

CITY COURT OFFICIALS
 ARE REAPPOINTED
Judge Ldcius Brown Renames City Attorney Hall and City Court Henry ". Tbbits.

At the session of the city court on Friday morning Judge Brown an nounced the reappointment of City Attorney Hall and City Court Clerk Tibbits from July first. This action had been expected by the friends of the officials, who have capably filled the office. In announcing the ap pointments Judge Brown acl<nowl- edged his great obliga ton to his many friends who so graciousiy interested themselves in his reappointment and thanked them sinceresy.
 Excellent work has been done by the attorney, the chief of police and his assistants. in bringing criminals to justice, and the community owes them a debt for their faitnfulness. said the judge. and I believe the court in making it's appointments should con- sled this question of harmonious ac- tion of the officials.
 Concerning the appointments, he said:
 The clerk il seems to me, has been a most faithful and accommodating official. and if he receives a reappolnt- ment the public is fortunate. I am, however, in receipt of a very resPecta- ble petition signed by certain attor- neys asking for the appointment of some attorney to the position of clerk I assume, however. that not one who has signed this petition las any charge of unfaithfulness to make against the present clerk, but rather they think the position naturally belongs to a practicing attorney. ] will say. ii there was a vacancy at the present time it would give me pleasure to grant the prayer of these petitioners and appoint one of the very worthy young attorneys at our bar But, all things considered, 1 believe the rear pointment of the present clerk is the thing for me to do.
 Now as to the attorney. This is Q difficult and responsible position to fill He must be conscientious and fearless. and if he does his duty he will make enemies. He will make mistakes and not always will he be able to secure convictions; but the question is, is the work done ably and honestly? The work of the attorney for the past two years has been well done, a s it seem: to me- not treat it as perfect, for no been eommendable and entities him it seems to me, to a reappointment Many of the cases presented to the court do not require great legal abil- ity for their presentation. but good iudgm ent needs always to be exercised 10 wisely determine what should Ce presented to the court. It often hap pens. as in homicide cases, and also many other important cases. that good ability and experience are most neces- sary in the prosecution of such cases 1t is therefore pleasure for me ,o reappoint both the present clerk and attorney

SHANNON BUYS LUCAS PROPERTY
Will Tear Down Present Building and Erect Four Story Fire Proof Block-Wi1l Have Round Corner Add ing Several Feet to Walk Street-Garage, Club- and Roof Garden.

MT. shannon stated on Friday that while he had determined to erect q four-story fireproof building on the land he has not fully determined oh all the details. It will be some time before construction work can be start- year, as it will require much time to clear off the land and make ready fof the new building. Early next year, however, he hopes to be able to start on the construction and will erect a building of the type of his Shannon building and the Auditorium hotel. On the corner, which is now square, he intends to have it rounded off, set ting hack the property line from foul to five feet. and strengthening the Lif- tie Water street lire. This will be a big improvement in the street, corner, and walk there.
 The ground floor of the corner will be used for 8 store, this floor being on the street level Where the Key holds stable was he intends to plan for the location of large garage, ca . pablo of holding 100 machines. with a waiting and reception room there. He has been in conference with an out of town man who would like 10 establish d large business of that kind there III Little Water street there will be stores as before
 There being sue 1a large number
 
 present time, MT. Shannon stated that he had not fully determined what he would do with the upper floors. but it is possible they will be arranged so they could be used for club rooms or the like. He intends to have a roof garden on the top of the building There will be ~plenty of room for the arrangement and the location would be an admirable one. with a view of the harbor end river. It would pro- vide a seating capacity for from s ,000 to 5000 people. and be arranged fof concerts and shows there. It will not be covered at first. probably, but will later be-cOVered in so it can be used during the winter as well as summer

The Lucas property, in Little Water and Shetucket streets. was purchased on Friday by James B. Shannon, who will improve the property by erect ing thereon four-story buff brick a1m concrete structure of fireproof construction. The present four-story brick building, which stands on the corner, it being the portion which was saved in the recent fire. will be torn G1Vn entirely, states MT. Shannon and the new building will cover the entire piece of property, which contains about 10000 square feet.
 Since the fire on May 19, which de- stroyed the rear half of the main building and the adjoining stable, the property has been on the market, it having been decided by the Misses Lu- cas, after the insurance adjustment of about s40,000 that they would not rebuild. With his customary alertress for advantageous locations in the bus mess center of the city. Mir. Shannon decided to add this to his already large holdings of Norwich real estate and has secured an excellent piece ef prop erty.
 On Little Water street there is a. frontage of 16S feet, while on She tucket street the frontage is 1S1 feet The propertp is irregular in shape being in the form of a triangle The Wcrk of clearing away the debris of the fire and the raging of the walls will be started right away, states Mr. shannon. who is without question the largest single land owner in the city of Norwich. That he has secured the property is cause for congra tula tion as it is sufficient evidence that he will erect a creditable building and one, which will be a decided improvement over the block which was formerly located there. It will mean a great change for that section and the streets on which it will be located. Without fear of contra adiction, it can be said that James B. shannon is Norwich's most progressive property owner and whose policy of home investment ir new business blocks which have in- Fariap ply replaced old ones has been of untold worth to the city.
