PICO HEIGHTS TO
FIGHT NEGRO HOME
HAVE OTHER TROUBLES THAN
CREMATORY
' Invasion of Residence District by In.
•tltutlon for Aged Africans
Arouses People of Fash.
ionable District
Recent developments In a threatened
Invasion of Pico Heights by capital
for other purposes than the erection
of residences has caused the people
enterprises that are trying to locate
It has gained rh a residence neigh
borhood. Tho peace and quietude of
their dally lives la being broken by
numerous ntruggles to keep out the
enerprl»e» that are trying to locate
In their midst. While mass meetings
were being held to prevent a crema
tory from locating In the neighbor
hood, and a petition was being circu
lated to force a winery to move, a
deal was quietly consummated for the
establishment of a home for aged ne
groes to supplant the place occupied
by the -winery.
The neighborhood Is now up ln arms
and Is threatening drastic measures
to prevent the negroes' home from
moving ln their midst.
Fifteen years ago Frank Partenlco
opened a winery at 1316 Vermont ave
nue. At that time there, were no fine
residences near his place. With the
advent of the fine residences a fight
to force him to move his -winery was
begun. It grew In Intensity until last
March, when a petition was taken to
the city council asking for the revoca
tion of his license. Partenlco, however,
voluntarily agreed to leave the nelgh
borhod -with his winery within a year.
Knowing that he was beaten by the
people who live in the fine residences,
Partenlco, it is asserted, planned a re
venge. His former neighbors say he
hit upon a plan when he learned that
Hllllard Strlcklln was looking for a
location for a home for aged negroes.
Strlcklln, who Is a negro and lives
at 2053 Santa Fe avenue, purchased
the property and has made arrange
ments for investing $20,000 in Improve
ments, he says. The home Is to be a
charitable Institution.
A number of the residents who fought
the winery and are antagonistic to
the proposed home are: Mrs. Mallnda
Harlan, 1326 Vermont; John Spencer,
1408 Vermont; G. Hansen, 1414 Ver
mont;. Judge John D. Pope, 1327 Ver
mont. All of them are ready to take
any means to prevent Stricklin from
establishing' the home. No steps have
been taken as yet, but the neighbor
hood has been discussing methods that
might be employed to prevent it from
being built. It is, however, a ques
tion of speculation what can be done
to prevent the enterprise. Not one of
the residents Is willing to suggest a
way in which Stricklin can be stopped
and It appears that the home will be
built according to the plans.
WILL REBUILD DIMINI BATHS
Loss Sustained by Burning of the Old
Building Is $160,000 — Insurance
$30,000
The loss sustained by the Bimlni
water company by the burning of the
bath house was $160,000, $30,000 of which
was covered by Insurance, distributed
among the following companies: In
surance Company of North America,
$5000; Home Insurance company, $11,
000; Dutchess Insurance company,
$1000; German Fire Insurance com
pany of Providence, $1000; Providence-
Washington Insurance company $1 Boo*
National Union, $3500; North ' River,
$2000; Glrard company, $2000; North
western Fire and Marine company, $1.
000; Alliance Fire company, $1000-
United Firemen's, $1000.
An extraordinary high rate was
charged on account of the character of
the business. It seems that a bath
house with a restaurant attachment
has to pay the rate required for both a
bath house and a restaurant. So that
Dr. Edwards had to pay 2% per cent a
year for all the Insurance and that he
had all the insurance he could get on
the building:.
Architects are now at work on the
plans for the new building, and It is
hoped by Dr. Edwards that the struc
ture will be running by the first of the
year.
Steel and concrete will be the prin
cipal components of the new building,
and Dr. Edwards stated that the new
bath house would be far superior to the
old one, as the new one will all be built
at the same time. The old structure
was of necessity of a patchwork con
struction, for addition after addition
had been made to the old house.

Street Superintendent Finds Pools in
Streets Labeled With His Name
and Orders to "Keep Off"
"For fishing privileges apply to Han
ley, street , superintendent," "Parties
fishing here without permission will be
prosecuted by Street Superintendent
Hanley." Those will do for samples
of the signs which have been found
placed ln pools of water and mudhole3
by the city street department. The jo
vial minded persons erecting the signs
seem to think that Hanley is to blame
for the aqueous condition of the city
streets.
But Hanley disclaims all responsibil
ity and says that not he but Franklin
of the weather bureau is to be blamed.
Ponds and miniature lakes beyond
number have been labeled with the
name of the street superintendent, and
dire threats have been made on the
sign boards promising any one who Is
so bold as to trespass upon the mud
holes the direst punishment that the
law can give an offender.
