TWO BUSINESS
HOUSES ENTERED
Burleson Dry Goods Store and scriv-
en- Grocery Entered and Ran
sacked by Burglar.

Two places of business were brok-
en- into sometime Saturday night, the
Burleson dry goods store and the
ScriHen grocery. About So worth OF
small change was stolen from the
cash drawer at Burleson's, the thief
having gotten In the rear Of the
building by breaking a hole in the
window and thrusting his hand
through, thereby unlocking the door.
Aside from the change taken, moth
ing else was disturbed.
The Scriven store was also enter
ed from the rear, one of the panes Of
glass having been removed. Moth
ing, however, was taken from the
Scriven store The thief evidently
had been unable to find the money
drawer.
This thievery makes the third in
stance Of the kind within the last
couple of weeks and it looks very,
much as if the same person We're the
culprit in all cases.

is to blame? Some are blaming II
to the contractors. 1t seems to me
the contractors are not deserving
the blame, Perhaps they should not
have signed contract accompanied
by specification which did not pro-
vide for contraction. But someone
made these specifications for the city
prior to the letting Of the contract
and the city council adopted them.
The contractor is supposed to build
as per Specifications, which become
a part of the contract.
Our city council visited several
cities on certain trip, together
with some citizens, and they took
an engineer along before they let
the contract, Now does the reader
place the blame where it belongs?
