MAYOR MoeARRY TO BUILD
Plans to Erect Three story Brick
 Store and Residence.

Mayor J. J. McGarry announced on Wednesday that he has practically decided to erect a three e-stOry brick structure on the NTcGarry property at the corner of Grove and South Main streets Bids for the work are to be asked for within a few days, and it is thought probable that the work of erecting the building may be under taken at an early date.
 The building is to front on Grove street, facing the site that was pur- chased, a few years ago. by the gov- ernment for a postoffice building. The lower floor of the proposed structure will be used by the mayor for his business, which he established at the corner of Grove and South Main streets a few years ago, and which has f1ourished very satisfactorily. The two upper floors are to be used as residence.
 The proposed building will be 48 by 23 feet.
 Council Wants Taxes Collected.
 Following a report by Alfred BOnne- vile, collector of city taxes, that few persons liable for such assess ment have refused to pay street sprinkling taxes, the common council voted that it is the sense of the coun- Gil that the mayor should take such steps as may be necessary to enforce the collection of taxes due the city, the council indicating that it would be solidly behind the chief executive in his effort to do so.
