which may be available for the new

locations.
One is at Front and Boas Streets
214 by 253 feet. No consideration
was mentioned, but it is reported

about $4,000. The other is that
now occupied by the wickersham
building on North street between
East and Cowden streets, fronting
toward the Capitol Park extension
zone, which IL is estimated would
cost about $10S,000.
Director Boyer asked that the
