Hendy, Jr., of Donvcr, who re cently purchased tho Longley property on tho corner of Fifth and Vine, will erect an apartment houso on the site. Tho lot Is 132x132, but whether ho will cover tho whole lot with a building has not been definitely decidtHl. It is probable, however, that ho will first erect a building facing 132 feet on Fifth street and extending back slxty-slx feet, and later build another apart mont facing slxty-slx feet on Vino nnd extending west 132 feet. Tho first building will bo three stories. Tho material will probably bo brick. Mr. Hendy is now having plans drawn and making other preliminary arrangements. It is expected to have the building completed beforo the end of tho present year. Tho apartments will include all modem conveniences. Mr. Hendy Is a North Platto boy and Is showing his faith In the future of the town by Investing money, doing this in preference to making Invest ments in Denver where ho is manager of the Ford factory. : :o: : Those Garbage Cans Under a recently passed ordinance householders aro required to keep an air tight can in the alloy or tho rear of their premises in which to deposit their garbage.
