GOOD MUSICAL COMEDY.
More Girls and New Costumes in
Grand F0lIies.

Tom O'Keefe and his "Follies OF

to their patrons Sunday. Probably the
most important changes made were the
addition OF many new girls TO the al.

and elaborate costumes added much TO
the performance.
The musical comedy, as usual. was
one full of pep and brought laughter

seriously weakened foundations OF
what is left of Barron's home.
But for the creaking of some OF

have been wiped out last night. He

house was about to go.
Mrs. Baron rushed for. the stairs
to awaken her smother, Mrs Eliza

woman was badly in need OF instant
help. Her bed had slid with the de-
pressing floor and was within eight
inches of going over the east side
into a fifty-foot drop. Mrs. Barron

Mildred, nine, and Elizabeth, SIX,

family slowly descended the stairs

An excited passerby turned in

called out to maintain safety lines
about the demolished building.

CITY MAY BUY TRACTOR
 FOR REMOVAL OF SNOW
Purchase of Machine Is Included 10 Budget Calling for Appropriations
 Of Approximately s200.O00.

The purchase of a caterpillar tractor 10 blow and pile snow will be rec commended by tho board of public works to the board of finance and tax ation In connection with budget Of approximately sa0n.nnn. which will also include items of permanent pave ment to be paid for by taxation rather than by bond issues. Chairman T. W. Grove of the board of public works said this morning.
 If is the chairman's belief that tho city could have saved many times the price of the tractor if it had been here this year. The machine will cost about s2.50n. but it will do the work which now requires many men.
 Because of the fact that the city is nearing it's limit of bonded in- debtedness. it is not likely that the city meeting board will act favorably upon a bond issue of $2n0,0n for paving streets. hence the action of the board in including permanent pavement items in it's budget to be cared for by taxation.
 Broad Myrtle and Commercial streets are among the highways that 1t is proposed to care for with perma- nent paving this year.

Everett l.. Putnam, the cost of the equipment burned will total hundreds Of thou sands of dollars.
 The fire was discovered at 10 o'clock by persons living in the vicin- ity of the car barn. who telephoned Merrick fire house and also rang in an alarm. Apparatus from both Mer- rick and Nnttineague fire houses re- sponded but the firemen found that little could be done to save the barn or the trolleys.
 Two other car barns are located near the destroyed building. and the firemen had hard work to save these The car barn is more than 1000 feet from the nearest hydrant and for this reason the firemen had only two lines of hose at their disposal. Water pres sure. despite the length of the hose used, was good
 The building was approximately 150 feet long and so feet wide and contained ten sets of tracks for cars. All of the tracks were occupied with open trolleys, used on Springfield lines in the summer. The three barns are
