WORK ON NEW GARAGE BEGINS.

John Marlatt has a force of men at work remodeling the old Hildebrand livery barn block on the corner of Front and Washington streets. The floor will be lowered about four feet, level with the sidewalk on Washington street, and a new walk put in on Front street corresponding with the grade of the Washington street walk. The old harness shop room on the corner will be turned into the main room, which will be some 55x70 feet. The rooms above the old harness shop will be again fixed up as a fiat with some six or sevep living rooms, but the'old hay loft on the south about 45x55 feet, will be used as a work and repair shop, giving the entire main floor for storage of automobiles. An ele-

vator will be put in at the southeast corner for carrying the “sick” autos to the “operating room” above. When the remodeling is completed this will make one of the best garages in Indiana, surpassed for floor space and convenience only by the larger cities.
