NEW FILLING STATION

Putnam's first gasoline filling sta tion. with its attractive hut, where oils will be kept, Is in process of con struetion at the corner of Front and South Main streets. The enterprise ls being financed by the Keith Garage. Inc, and will be conducted in eonnee. tloH with the public parking place on the same lot, where visitors to the city may leave their ears for 25 cents for | hours, during which time they will be watched by men in the employ of the kciths, insuring the safety of ma chimes and their contents. The park ing space will relieve downtown condi- tions during the periods when many people are looking for spot to leave their ears. and is created through the suggestion of Captain of Police De lage.
 The gasoline filling station will be situated back on the lot from the highway and will have gravel ap- breaches. lts situation will not cause any interference with passing ears, as pumps at the curb would.
 The public parking area is not to be enclosed by any sort of building, or overhead shelter for the cars. at this time. it is stated. But if the en- terprise proves popular and is well patronized, this will be the next step.
