ing the entire property, but while that
jojj wa? owned by another he could -,ot.
He has beeu making quiet overtures
right alone until uow the deed is on
record in his name and the way cleared.
H6 has also bought the rear end of the
lot fronting on Fourth street back of
the property so that he now owns clear
the comer, fifty feet on Broadway ex
tending back a hundred feet, with ihG
twenty-live of the rear continuelng on

ing the alley and will be used for work
