300 feet and creating such a tremen-

One Of the most important real es.

MIR. j. R. Treat, acting for the Hansen
| Construction & Trading Company filed

! and one from j. G. Heating to the
company. The property consists OF
fifty feet on Main street, beginning at
the Avenente building and running fif.

two and one-half feet, and was con-
veyed to the Hansen company by ]. r.
Treat. The other transfer was from
j. G. Heating, conveying the east half
of the block bounded by Main, 10th
and Bailey streets, being sixty-two and
half feet on 10th street and 156 feet
on Bailey street.
In turn the property has been
transferred to C. II. Friday, upon
which will be erected a handsome
garage building fronting fifty feet on
Main street and extending through to
Bailey. This building will have 10000
feet of floor space and will be erected
of brick, and will have a plate glass
front, and finished in Spanish architec-
ture, plans for the same having been
drawn by one of the most noted archi-
tects of Santa Barbara, Calf.
Work on the building will be com
menced at once and will be rushed
to completion with all possible speed.
The entire front of the building will
be given over to show room for a popu
lar line of ears, trucks and tractors.
AT the rear will be located one of the
finest machine shops in the state with
modern and -to-the-minute ma
chinery installed, and the most skilled
mechanics will be in charge.
The public will be invited to sub
nit suitable name for this new gaI.
age for which a suitable prize will be
offered A Spanish name will be given
the preference.
1t is planned to give a big ball on
the opening night to which everyone
viii be maJic welcome. Further do
tails of this new business institution
will be forthcoming as progress is
made, but rest assured that this new
luilding is to be one in which Flor
ence may well feel pride, and will cost
around $4,000.
