C " JOHNSON 3 Co.
TO MOVE INTO j S
BANK BUILDlN c
Compton S Racket Store to OC-
cupy Building at l4l
North Commercial

G. W. johnson & Co. announced to-
day that their clothing store would oe-
enpy the room now in use by the Wool.
worth store in the United States Ma
tional bank building about MAY 10. The
Compton racket store will move from
the present quarters in the Enright
bmldmg ON Court street to the room to
be vacated by G. w. johnson & Co.,
and the WoolwOrth store will occupy a
room in the new McGilehrist building at
the corner of State and Liberty street.
4. w. johnson & Co. is one of the
Oldest established firms in the city and
Mr.. Johnson located in Salem about "a
years ago, moving here from Lebanon.
The store opened for business at l4l
North Commercial street, the present To-
cation, about 27 years ago. The firm
is composed of G. W. johnson, Sr., and
his two sons, Clyde f. johnson and
Paul V. Johnson. Another son, Oscar
NJ. johnson, now deceased, was formerly
associated with the firm but later open
ed up a store of his own which was sold
out TO Brick Brothers.
The new store in the bank building
will be entirely remodeled before it is
occupied by the johnson company. There
will be two entrances, one from Com
mercial street and another from the
main lobby of the building. The room
is much larger than the present quarters
of the company and will allow the firm
to increase their stock and also permit
better display.
The Johnson lease on their present
store room has not yet expired and when
negotiations were on with Mr.. Compton,
the latter asked if the back windows
were absolutely burglar proof. He was
assured that they were as nearly burglar
proof as it was possible to make them
and Mr. Compton stated that he was
confident that in his present location of
Court street no burglars could enter
| from the rear and that he slept with a
feeling of security. Both stores were
burglarized the same night, two days
later, and in both cases the burglars en-
tered through the rear windows. The
proprietors of the respective stores
concluded that it was a stand off and
neither would boast of burglar proof
store in the future.

mand for a concrete bridge we have
caused additional borings TO be made at
Marion street the result being shown on
the attached profile. 1t appears that
the foundations on this cite are of suf
ticient strength to Justify the erection
of either steel or concrete bridge with
out piling foundation. We also submit
this for your information and await in
structiOns.
Should the Center street site be ad-
nered to, it will be necessary to give
careful consideration to the foundation
for the west approach as the borings
disclosed only loose sand and gravel.
Further in our opinion there is strong
probability that unless stopped by ex-
.pensive revctment, the main channel Of
the river is very liable TO repidly en-
croach upon the Polk county shore and
unless the piers on which the approach
rests shall have been most securely plae-
ed and protected, they will be under
mined or washed away.
In case any Instructions are to be
given us We ask an early reply as the
splans and specifications for the main
bridge are almost complete and await
only instructions as to the definite 10.
cation and the approach.
