Difficulties Overcome
In Moving Big House

The difficulties that were encoun-
tered in moving the old Fiery house
from West King street to Maple ave-
nue. are gradually being overcome
and the prospects are that it will
soon be off the streets.
The delay was caused by the trees
in front of the Episcopal Church prop
erty, which the contractor, p. Dudley
of Washington, was making every eff
fort to save.
Had he pointed the front Of the
house further toward Queen street he
would have had little difficulty in get
ting turned around, but to do this it
would have been necessary to have
taken out these trees In the rear of
the house is an electric light pole
which kept him from backing around
far enough TO miss the trees
Contractor Dudley regrets very
much that the people should be in
convenienced by the house being in
the street, but says that if the Peep.
pie will bear with him only a little
longer, he will have things cleaned
up in short order

ing was going at a speed more than

not taken after the lookout sighted
