Purchaser Of Large Tract as Trustee.

The kids" of the Rogers school are
to have a larger playground. Respond
ing to the demand FOR larger space
for play for this building, the school
board has negotiated for the purchase
| of lots adjoining the school that VIII
give 10000 more square feet of ground.
Because of the public interest these
negotiations will arouse they are the
most important of the deals Of the city
realty market.
The school board has taken option,
and in one instance closed, for the pur-
chase of two lots west of the scnool
building. The board took an option
and is preparing to exercise its right
! of purchase at once, cor lot 45Xl2o
feet, just west of the school yard and

would be No. 40S. The property is
owned by Leroy Lips. The board
pays $1,000 for the lot.

which is improved with a dwelling. at

60x1sO feet, and is owned by II. H..
Hart This lot joins the Lipps lot in
the rear, the two making an ~
! shaped tract lying just west of the
alley that is west OF the school
grounds.
! 1t is the intention of the board to sell
the west ninety feet of this lot. the
portion on which the house stands,
! and retain the east ninety feet for the
playground.
/ Because it would require a vote OF
/ the people to authorize this sale If the
property was held IN the name of the
school district. the option is being
taken and will be exercised in the
name of an individual ~ho will take
title for the whole lot, give title for
the one half sold. and transfer the rest
/ to the school board. The price at
which this property was optioned was
not given out
Meeker Buys Heirs Share.
F. L. Meeker, who already owned a
two-thirds interest in the business
! property at 10 East Main street, has
purchased the remaining one third of
the heirs of the Wescott estate. The
price paid the heirs for .heir share was
based on valuation of $1,000 for the
whole property. The sale was ordered
1 by the court in order to partition and

The property consists of a lot 20x1SO,
! improved with a two-story brick build

The sale is of peculiar interest for
another reason. 1t represents the last
and closing transaction involving prop

over which there has probably been
more litigation than any ether estate
involving business property. Thru 1t

the campaign. and will assist in the in
dustrial work that the association has
outlined for the coming week.
Where the Honey Goes.
The expenses of the association for
the coming year have been estimated
at sS,136, which Is greater than hereto
fore because of the fact that. in order
TO do the work demanded of it, the as
ISOLATION has had 70 take larger quar-
ters This means an increased over
head expense. The cafeteria will cost
more to operate, light and gas bills
will be greater, and expenses will be
generally increased. The estimated re-
ceipts for the year are $685. or s1,511
less than the estimated expense.
What Association Did Last Year.
Last year the associations budget
was 81 800. Something over $1,000 was
raised in the financial campaign a
wear ago. The money so raised was
made to go as far as was possible by
careful management. The cafeteria re-
ceipts last year were s6,524.20. as
against an estimate of $500 for the
coming year. owing to tn" increased
cost of operation. A total of $1,000
women used the rooms last year, an
average of 1863 per day. Ninety-seven
women and girls were directed to
rooming places. and employment was
secured for fifty. The association has
formed clubs that have a membership
of sixty-six girls. and in the junior
clubs formed there is membership OF
inineety-three. The association served
| 4O,34O meals last year to wcmen.

Mar.halItown Men comoIimented.

Several Marshalltown men were in
Des Moines last week on business and
they happened to overhear remark
from the central girl IN the hotel that
they looked like men from New York
City because of the cut of their clothes.
One of the men of the party suggested
that he had better go over and inform
the young lady that she was wrong.
that they came from Marshalltown and
Anthony Psenicka had tailored their
clothes which were of the latest fash
ion, and fit them well. and had won
her attention, hence the idea that they
were of New York City.
This goes to show that d man don't
need to go to New York City to have
his clothes tailored. for right here at
home he finds Anthony Psenicka. the
tailor that will fit him out right.-Ad-
yertisement.
