Storm. Building r Keep Men Busy The storm kept all the local contractors and lumber yards busy during the last two weeks. Then, too, there was the regular building also going on.

Also in the order was 145 siv inch sewer tiles. . The E. A Browning building, oc- | eupied by the Stevens Drug store, < n east Washington street is receiving a modern front.

Crawley Remodels Garage Lawrence Crawley is near finished on the Syd Gasaway job on N. Madison Street. Recently one of the 1 cleverest bits of building skill was demonstrated by this contractor when he transformed a garage into I a home for his father. The garage, which looked like an old ramshakled affair, on S. Locust street, was sided with white double siding, windows were cut in and a glass door, wit i a stoop over it, was added.

He may put in two or four apartments. Last Monday he received permission from the city council to cut the curbing for a driveway. CLOSET SPACE Is VITAL NEED One method of solving the problem of closets a.nd at the same time creating a pleasing decorative effect is by Installing a false wall and mirrored niche.
