Ohio electric building unsightly shed

The Ohio Electric (Traction Line R.H.) is handing Delphos a lemon.
The unsightly freight platform just east of the first alley east of Main street, north of Second street, is being covered with a shed in which to house freight, incoming and outgoing.

The force of carpenters are hurrying the work along so that it will be completed before the ordinance establishing a new fire limit passed by Council, goes into effect. This freight platform was just outside the fire limit as specified by the old ordinance, but Council succeeded in preventing the company from erecting a shed over it.

Simultaneous with the passage of the new fire ordinance taking in the territory occupied by the freight platform, second hand material was brought here from Van Wert, and a force of men are now at work on the erection of the shed. The law does not probably prohibit them from erecting this unsightly shed in this prominent place, but it seems to be quite apparent that the company is not in accord with the movement in Delphos for improvements that will be not only useful, but pleasing to the eye as well, working out a plan for town beautification.
