The for the entire property is 200 per front foot, so that the .1 ILLINOIS money involved in the transaction aggregates $16,000.

Mr. Johnston's plan in getting both pieces is to improve his theatre by widening the arditorium and stage and to control the adjoining building fronting on Second avenue. The 20-foot atrip he will either dispose of or erect on it a structure running back 100 feet that will be. like the theatro proper, three stories high and designed for store and office and 11 -it purposes.
