Woodson Gets Permit To Erect Tile Building - A permit for the erection of a building to cover the vacant ground lying west of the Woodson garage and extending to the Howe confectionary store was grant- ed by the city council Monday night to O.E. Woodson. The structure is to be 75x95 feet and is to be of open tile construction, which is the same construction as that of the build- ing now occupied by the Woodson garage. Mr. Woodson is out of the city and no statement has been made as to what use will be made of the building. It is understood, however, that it is to have two or three store fronts and to have a second story. The ground on which the new building will rise is across the street from Hotel Bartell and was once used as a deer park.
