| five and ten cent store of Frank Kuitzing
and remained in that position for five
years. Then he decided to go tc Chi
cago and apprentice himself to a mer-
chant tailor. He did not like big city
life, however, and after a few months
returned home and opened a dry goods
business in the Leibold building now occu-
occupied by the American Express
office. This small room proved too
big for his capital at that and it was neces-
sary for Mr.. Ottomeyer to stretch cur
tain between the filled front space and
the empty back space. That condition
did not exist long, however, and
the curtain was removed and the entire
space soon occupied. After a few years
that proved inadequate and he rented
the. corner store of his present location.
That did not long suffice and he moved
into the adjoining room, now the north
side of his present store. That, too,
proved too small and he re-rented the
corner part and now occupies both rooms.
Later he purchased the building. and his
sister, Mrs. Altenburg owns part which
is occupied by the Meyer Jewelry store
and the Kemsh Stationery Store and
Job Printing Plant.
During the past season Mr.. Ottomeyer
decided that he would take hand in
helping to make Minnesota Street more
beautiful and he rebuilt the entire front
OF the corner store and the office rooms
in this part of the block we're built
over also. He used a Toledo Pressed
brick similar to that employed by P. J.
Ritschell in his new home. 1t is very
dark in color and in the photo shown in
this issue does not do justice to the result
of Mr.. Ottomeyer's plans, but the build
ing at present has much improved that
corner. There are fine large show win

speaks the latest word on the subject Of
Business Efficiency. It stands two
stories high, fronting Minnesota street,
with a basement which will be used for
office or store purposes. The material
is stone and New Uim wire cut brick:
The cost OF building and equipment will
total about $4,000. y s-3:
The first floor will be used for banking
purposes entirely. The first room toward
the right of the entrance is the private
consultation room; adjoining that are
the cashiers Office and the banking
room Toward the rear of this floor
will be several booths, one containing
a telephone for public use, one called
coupon booth for the use of patrons of
the safety deposit vaults, and the third
will contain writing desk. The ladies
rest room at the back is feature which
speaks we'll for the thoughtfulness and
consideration of the bank building COM
mittee. The directors room will occupy
the extreme rear end of the building.
Between that and the banking room
are the vaults.
These vaults are built on separate
concrete foundation with walls of solid
concrete two feet thick reinforced by
heavy steel bars. The inside of the
vault is lined with steel sheeting which
is composed of two plates of steel en-
closing a fine wire netting connected
with the burglar alarm. In order to
gain access to the bank money, a burglar
would have to break thru the reinforced
concrete walls, and thru this protected
steel cage, and then he would still have
to encounter the burglar proof, man
ganese steel safe. This safe is shaped
like sphere in order to offer the least
resistance to the action of explosives.
The door of this safe is of steel six inches
thick, screwed into the body Of the safe,
and fitted so finely that it will Aatten out
hair when closed
= The vault itself is divided into two
parts by steel grating partition; one.
half is used to house the safe, and the
other for the safety deposit boxes. The
steel doors Of the vault alone weigh three
thousand pounds each. Beside these
vaults, safe, and alarm system, the bank
carries full insurance protection against
loss by fire or robbery.
The second floor, which will contain
the office space, is another one of the
special features Of the new building. It
has been planned to make this at once
the finest and most convenient set of
office rooms in the city. The rooms are
so built that they may be arranged in
suites to fit any demand. All are we'll
lighted, and have hot and cold water
and sewer connections. The interior
finish Of the building is antique oak; the
floors Of the vestibule and<lobby are of
terrazzo marble, and the others are of
maDle.

Drove Auto With Broken Arm.

Over ice-covered roads that requir-
ed the utmost caution, William ".
Wolfe, of Indian Springs, one of the
most prominent fruit growers of this
section, drove his automobile from
Baltimore to Frederick in the remark
able time of 2 hours and l minute.
with his broken right arm hanging
useless by his side, last Thursday
evening. He had in the machine with
him his wife and daughter.
Mr.. Wolfe started to crank his auto
mobile, which had been standing for
about five hours in the cold, on How
ard street, in Baltimore, shortly be-
fore 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
After many attempts he finally
managed to get the engine going.
When the crank caught and the en-
CINE started it gave him a slight jerk,
causing him to slip on the ice-coated
street. In the fall he was struck on
the right wrist by the whirling crank
handle.
The arm panied him severely, but
he thought he had only bruised or
sprained it and being anxious to get
his wife and daughter home, climbed
into the car and started.
Covered with ice and snow, the road
became hard one to navigate, but
with his left hand he held tight to
the steering wheel.
The pain in his wrist became more
and more excruciating. 81 could hard
ly keep from shouting" he said, "but
l made up my mind to get home, and
stuck to it."
1t was not easy going and the lights
Of Frederick were a welcome sight
to the injured man as he sped along
the pike outside the city Arriving
here he drove direct to the office of
DR.. Frank M. Hedges, where ply
stefan made an examination.
Mr.. Wolfe was said to be doing as
we'll as could be expected last night.
Today he is coming to Frederick to
undergo an X-ray examination at the
City Hospital.

Charged With Milk Can Lids.

An investigation of the disappear
ance of milk-can lids from railroad
stations was began Monday morn
ing when M. B. Smith, near Urbana,
was arrested on the charge of the
larceny. He was held under a bond
of $50 for the action of the grand
jury by Magistrate George Taylor,
of New Market. Deputy Sheriff Rob-
ert FrizZell made the report
For years milk shippers have been
complaining of the disappearance of
lids from cans. George M. Linthicum,
near Urbana, complained to the Bal
timore and Ohio agent, C. w. Cash
our, Monrovia, who began to watch.
Monday morning the agent stop
ped the buggy of Smith and unearth-
ed from under the seat two milk
can lids. Smiths arrest was order
ed. Smith seemed amazed at the
presence of the discriminating lids.
He intimated that the lids must have
been put in his buggy. No testimony
was produced showing that Smith
was seen taking the lids.
Deputy Sheriff Frizzell said last
night that there is a railroad law
covering this offense, which carries
fine of about $780, He declared that
the disappearance of the lids had be-
come common occurrence and that
many farmers had reported similar
trouble.

FAVORS RESERVOIR.

"The petitions of the Civic Club
presented to the Board of Aldermen,
Wednesday night, showing the senti-
ment of the business men and taXpay-
ers of the city in regard to the stor-
age reservoir, are not misleading,
said Lloyd c. Cutler, president of the
Board of Aldermen, in commenting on
the statement of Alderman Elmer
Nee. Phebus. The latter in an inter-
view in The Frederick Post stated
the petitions were misleading"
after examining the petitions /
feel that the men whose names appear
were fully aware of what they were
signing and meant just what the pc
tition purported." continued the pres
ident of the board. 81 think the tax
payers and business men want the
Board of Aldermen to take favorable
action on the reservoir question, or
they would not have placed their
names on the petitions.
81 stand where l have always stood
in favor of erecting storage reser-
voir. Frederick needs additional wat
er facilities. Any fire beyond the or
binary would mean the destruction of
the town. Many cities have been han
dicapped in fighting fires because of
the lack of water.
Fire is the first consideration. Next
there is no doubt that the water sup
ply is inadequate The city has grown
and the supply must be increased.
"The water that Frederick will
draw from the storage reservoir will
not be impure. Not so much as the
water now in the two city reservoirs.
The dam will be constructed so that
the water is always circulating. There
is nothing to the argument that this
dam will mean impure water.
"a standpipe would not remedy the
conditions. It's not a question of wat
er pressure. We need more water.
There are periods in the year when it
is impossible to get sufficient water. If
you have the water you will get the
pressure"
According to two of the leading bus
mess men of the city, the Board of
Aldermen has been discussing the
storage reservoir long enough. One
of these men declared that it was
time something should be done. He
urged that the Aldermen get to work
and take the necessary steps.
These citizens take the stand that
the Board of Aldermen represents the
interest of the people, and that they
were elected to act for the people of
the city.

III. & +, OYSTER Roast.

Employees of the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company, will be
given an oyster roast at the headquar-
tiers of the company in Frederick and
in Hagerstown on New Years Day.
The roast in Frederick will be held in
the terminal on East Patrick street.
The management of the road has or
dered barrels of oysters in the shell
for the occasion. 1t is hoped to have
every employee of the road from track
man to the trainman and even all the
officials of the road to some time dur
ing the day partake of the roast. This
New Years feast is an annual affair.
1t has been found invaluable in foster
ing a better spirit Of fellowship be-
tween the officers and employees of the
road.

Nearly A Hundred Fire Calls.

The record of fire alarms in Hagers-
town during 1914 to date is 80, and
a number of them proved to be fires of
considerable proportions, destroying
some of the towns largest industries
The estimated aggregate value of
property destroyed by these fires is
$47O,75O in Hagerstown alone, while
$4,000 represents property adjacent
to Hagerstown that was burned. Hag
erstown has a volunteer fire depart
ment, at the head of which is Fire
Marshal Frank N Fahrney, and it is
a valuable asset to the city.
