Ollie & MCGUIRE Lawn Now
er Company Find Quarters
Too Small and Will Build
100000 Structure.
WORKING FORCE is
TO BE INCREASED
Building to Be Mostly of
Glass, Also Reinforced
Concrete, Stone and Steel
and One Story.

What is expected to be the most
modern factory building in eastern In
diana, will be constructed early this
spring by the Ollie & MCGUIRE Lawn
Mower company, at cost of nearly
100000. The structure will be of re-
inforced concrete. stone. steel and
glass, located between the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and North F street, and
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets,
the present site of the lawn mower
works. Elwood MCGUIRE of the COM
pany stated today, that he would in
crease the force of men from 100 now
employed to between $50 and 200 men.
The huge structure will be one
story in height. excepting the Office
section, which will be at the corner
of North Thirteenth and F streets 1t
will be two stories. A large tower is
to surmount this section of the build
ing. The Office will be furnished in
the most modern way.
Start Work at Once.
Mr. Mcclure this afternoon went
over the ground with an architect. and
it was decided to raZe the property.
purchased recently, at once, and as
soon as the weather permits, to break
ground for the big building. After
the new structure is finished all work.
ings of the factory viii be on one floor
which will be a great advantage in
the construction of lawn mowers. Mr.
MCGUIRE says the erection of the new
building and the increase in the work
ing force are quite necessary as bust
ness has been increasing heavily for
the last several years. The company
he stated, had been in cramped quar-
ters during the past few years.
The building will be of the mos,
modern construction. The frame
work for the walls is to be OF heavy
steel. between which will be placed
reinforced concrete. The lighting will
be a great feature as the walls will be
principally of wired glass. All floors
and stairways are to be constructed
of concrete.
Members of the company think the
building will be completed and ready
for occupation by next September.
A few other large factories viii
build during the year. Robinson
Company. the Starr Piano Company
Gaar. Scott & Compay and the Am
erican Seeding Machine Company al
have plans for factory buildings o
other improvements.

OWNERS
IN WAR OF WORDS
Clash Before City Board Ov-

Hot words passed between petition

this morning. Property owners have
asked for cement walk and curb and
gutter, as the street is alleged to be
in deplorable condition, being SO
muddy, that during periods of rain
walking on the sidewalks is almost
impossible.
The petition for the improvement
was brought up some time ago, and
Immediately Henry Siekman, large
property holder in Richmond, who
owns a small house and lot on Sher-
man street, got out remonstrance on
which he has secured the names oi
five property owners, which, it is be

MILK CONDITIONS
GREATLY IMPROVED
But No Guaranteed Tuber-

Sold in Richmond.

Radical changes for the better have
been discovered by the committee on
dairies appointed recently by the bu-
reau of municipal research to investi-
gate the condition of the various dair-
les in Wayne county, since the Sep
tember inspection. n. c. Heironimus
chairman of the committee, has sub
mitted a report. and it was stated that
on the whole the situation had mater
tally, improved. While some of the
dairymen are still short of the mini
mum requirements of the state law
and the city ordinances. most of them
have made an effort to comply with
instructions given by State Inspector
Br11er.
The suggestion was made in the re.
port that a determined effort be made
to arouse public interest in the mat.
ter of further bettering the conditions
of the various dairies. In order to
accomplish this end it was suggested
that the names of all dairymen who
have complied with the necessary re
quirements.
