DeForge May Build Garage.

He won't tell what he's doing or
why he's doing it, but it is generally
supposed about town that Frank j. De
Forge, who hitherto has confined his
activities to the peaceful occupation
of selling fish, shell and otherwise, is
preparing to build garage at the
junction of Rockingham and Williams
streets. Several months ago Mr.. De
Forge leased a piece of land there. 1t
is 1870 by 100 feet. This week a force
of men and dumpcarts began carting
away big slices of the gravel pit and
people began to wonder. A dutiful re-
porter interviewed Frank, but the fish
man simply refused to talk, as he did
when he leased the property. He de-
clared at first that he would use the
land as a site for an aquarium, but adj
mitted that that was fairy tale. If
rumors are true the garage will be fire
proof and will be equipped with first
class machine shop.
