RAILROAD LEASES
 TAXICAB STAND
 BENEATH VIADUCT

Following years of persistent re- fusal to grant privileges in the space underlying the tracks of the New Haven railroad at the local station permission has finally been secured from the board of directors for the lease of valuable property between viaduct supports beneath that struc- ture.
 Ground has been broken for the erection of the first building, which will be garage and taxicab station for Hickey Brothers, the local ex- pressmen and taxi service firm. The building will be about 50x75. feet, with a concrete flooring and gall van1zed side and top, and will con- tain a complete garage eQuipment.
 The location is directly beneath the
 tracks in the first apperture south of the alleyway between the east and
 westbound tracks, leading to Golden Hill street. The work is to be com
 pleted in about g. week.
 Who will be successful bidders for
 adjoining spaces. is not disclosed by officials today who are extremely re- ticent in, discussing the new policy Among taxicab men. who are now
 compelled to stand outside the sta ton exits The opinion prevails thai Hickey Brothers have pulled off a biz coup that will bring their cabs di- l rectly before the alighting passen-
 gers. before they have been able te
 disperse in the station proper The Hickey Brothers when seen to, l day said: we have tried for dye years to gain the privilege we have l now been granted. It has been ths consistent policy of the railroad t6
 prevent occupancy of the large space
 available below the tracks, The. l were unable to say what further leases would be made, though theirs Is understood to run for a term O live years

 Macyn .Arbuckle in picturest
 Maclyn Arbuckle, whom, we regard
 as one of the greatest of our sAneri-

 sympathetic man of the small eoun-

 every corner, a genial smile that
 radiates happiness, sense, of hHmor
 that keeps the little village bubbHng
 with laughter and who has troubles
 too, that bring their tears for the Hi Judd of Mac1yn 4Arbuckle's creation.
 Hi Judd is the poet, postmaster and
