Observing that instead of tearing tear-ing down these unsightly structures to make room for more pretentious and substantial business buildings, quite extensive ex-tensive repairs were in progress, including includ-ing a new coat of paint, a reporter of The Times this morning made inquiry concerning the ownership of the property. prop-erty. It was learned that Mr. F. Aucrbach was the owner of the premises, including includ-ing the very eligible building site, and that the repairs were intended as only a makeshift to tide over until next spring.

These, together with a lino business block which he proposes to erect immediately on Commercial Com-mercial street, have, to a certain extent, laid his available capital under tribute to his ambition for the present; but it is his intention to clear out tho Seeond South and West Temple street corner a year hence, and put up a handsome business edifice on the property. |
