More ambitious plans for the How
land block extension are indicated in a
permit granted Rowland Bros & Cave
to add second story to the sizeable
annex that is being erected on the heith
avenue side of the business building.

annex to single story. but the demands
of the tenants for more space mas
prompted the owners OF the structure TO
increase the addition. 1t is thought that
the first floor, to be occupied in part by
the Mrs. Shepard Co. and the +. W.
Woolworth Co, will be ready for use
around Oct Is. More time will be taken
to complete the second story.

officers received Sl3s.l5. As the various
ward officers are paid by the hour and
their dav at the primaries is not as long
as in the March election, the expenses
for staging a primary are smaller
