able.

Arshawala win not have its public
h1tching post on the corner OF Main
and Third sts-that is unless the city
or some public spirited citizen. or one
OF the business organizations buy the
property on which II was proposed to
have the convenience. II can be
bought for around $4,000 from the
FoggIe heirs This Is how :. w Hutch
inson, whose wife IS one OF the heirs
OF the estate. feels about it Mr.. Hut
Crimson represents the estate in the
disposal of this valuable site. He Is
the agent for the property, and he
has set a price OF over $500 a foot on
It This is why the government didn't
buy IL for the city's new pO5tOffice. II
was the favOrfte location at the time
the new building was first moOted,
but the price asked was more than
the Washington authorities cared to
pay. The property has lain idle for
many years. and that Is the reason the
energetic and enterprising Chamber of
Progress thought there could be no
objection 10 its being used for hitch
ing post with rest room in connection.
The committee appointed to secure a
suitable location for this most neces-
ssary accommodation for farmers COM
ing 70 the city was composed Of some
OF the best hustlers in the city. The
morning following their selection they
were around town before breakfast
and In half an hour they announced
TO the newspapers that they had sue
ceeded in their mission But, alas, the
best laid schemes, ETC." sometimes go
crossways. It's a bad habit they have.
The man that they should have con-
suited WIS passed up-nOt intention
ally be It remembered-he was just
forgotten for the -sonce.
The first intimatiOn Mr.. Hutchinson
had OF the matter. ne says, was when
Henry S. Towle, WHO now resides in
Chicago, informed him of the use OF
the property was TO be put. 1 was
simply astonished." he said TO The
lNews-TImes "Wednesday evening. 4
never heard OF such efTOntery; why
it was nothing short OF highwaya--.
Well. I'll tell you this, that the f1rst
attempt that IS made 70 turn the prop
trty into a hitching station, and L
catch any one at It, III prosecute them
TO the limit"
That there were misunderstanding
all the way around is not denied. but
one thing may, in the face OF Mr.. Hut
chinsOn's statement, be taken Tor
granted, and that IS that another site
will have to be found.
The committee is not dismayed. al
though somewhat Chagrined. 1t will
get to work again with renewed &C
tivity. and will not forget to see the
owner or agent OF the property 1t
next decides upon. MI desperandum
Is its motto, and it IS determined to
have that hitching post or retire into
oblivion.
