Will Be Only Two Stories.

Otto knoerzer stated today that he
will erect two-story brick building on
the lot at the corner of Holman street
adm Muenich court. He figured on
erecting three-story building provid-

floor.
He has given that up. however. and
will now go ahead with the construc-

will add to the business activity of this
part of Holman street and will tend to
offset the tremendous activity that Is
taking place on State street.
