REAL ESTATE
ONLY 2 BRIEFS
MUST Be FILED
Attorneys Representing Hard
scrabble Property Owners
Preparing Papers

With the exception of b. Frank
Mead and George r. Barnett, all the
attorneys concerned in the Hard
scrabble condemnation appeal case
have filed their briefs with the Dau-
phin county court and as soon as these
two lawyers finish the preparation of
their papers the great bundle of data
will be turned over to the judges for
consideration.
Members of the bar as we'll as real
estate men look for an early decision
on the subject although il is generally
appreciated that the courts work is
never done" and that both judges are
constantly busy in chambers when
not sitting on the bench.
The fact that many of the interested
property owners are desirous of ascer-
tanning definitely Just what they shall
do relative to their properties has pre-
sented an interesting phase OF the
problem AS soon as the legal ends
OF the tangle are straightened out it
Is expected that the city will proceed
with the fling of condemnation bonds
and 1t is known that City Commits
sloner w. H. Lynch, superintendent of
streets and public Improvements, is
ready to proceed with the razing of
buildings as soon as the city takes
over the properties. This means that
the residents of the "Hardscrabble"
NASNiiNb must itiNN dlilpic llult W look
about for new homes. The unsettled
situation consequently is causing some
annoyance, it is said, among those
who have been negotiating for other
properties.
Within another month or six weeks
the court will rest for it's vacation and
1t is the hope of the attorneys and
others interested in the city's next big
improvement proposition. to have the
whole problem practically settled by
that time if possible-at least so far
as the legal end of the controversy is
concerned.

was something very much like It. Hi
degarde Henry had arrived a little

ton later that night than usual-on
that first afternoon in November, and
the fact that the only vacant chair in
the room was next to young Alonzo
Arnold was very good reason why she
took her place there. Yet as the pref.
~ little light brown lady-her hair
and eyes and suit and hat were all of
the same soft hue-walked toward his
chair and sat herself there he could no!
help but feel that she had favored him
OF az the other young men in the class,
drawn as il by an intangible attraction
to him. Perhaps he showed q touch
OF self consciousness that betokened
pleasure. Once on that first day she
smiled at him. To be sure 1t was when
the Spanish instructor had asked him
how he did, in Spanish, and he had
Dtammered out his "Muy bien. senor,"
with particularly Yankee infection.
Everybody In the room had smiled. but
her smile was the one that counted.
He had caught her eyes and smiled
little, too. That was the introduction.

the first of December he told her he
liked her better than any other girl he
had ever met before, and she had
smiled and said something about al.
ways having liked big, courageous men,
though Alonzo was not quite either.
But there the matter stopped for a
while.
Perhaps this was because about the
fifth meeting of the class Alonzo had
remarked harmlessly enough that he
thought the course Of Spanish very
helpful and Hildegarde had said: Yes,
IL would help so II one went to Spain,
or Mexico, or South America"
"Yes," Alonzo had said. ut would
be a splendid trip to take, to go to
Spain. or South America, or Mexico"
and the girl in brown had said yes, and
then added something about just doting
on travel. Then:
"Now l have told you why / am
studying Spanish, why are you?"
Alonzo might have said that it was
because he had read a certain adver-
tisement in the paper to the effect thai
Spanish stenographers were receiving
from 40 to so Der cent mora than tho
ordinary sort of stenographers. and
that 1t was in order to make an OPEN
