Street Lean-to's Being
Obeyed.

Many small lean-tos or shGcks
which have done good business for a
number Of years are coming down this
week. Mayor Bowen says the order
for their removal went through about
a month ago but that little was done
about it until the last few days. The
law is to be strictly enforced as these
shacks are said to be taking up too
much room and not at all identifying
to the city.
A number OF years ago foreigners
came to owners Of buildings and asked
to put up small lean-to against their
buildings most of them on city prop
erty. Rent for them was good and
owners allowed the shacAs to so up,
All fruit stands, shoeshining parlors
and other small shops located in this
manner will have to come down RICH:
away. The mayor says these people
may rent rooms in which to conduct
business If they desire.
The rents for these shacks have in
creased greatly during the last few
years and in same instances fruit ven
ders and others have paid as high a.
fifty dollars month for use of the
ground-building the shack them
selves. The streets row will be less
crowded besides appearing less lit
