In addition, the changes made last season on_the south side of Bay street, the buildings eccupied by the Segar gro- cery atore, the Burke market and art store, the hore-dinner house and the ‘hapman grocery and two structures, have been moved. iarge office bullding of Frank La used in connectior with the batk business, has been moved quite a dis- tance frem its former lecation and now is about twenty feet in the rear of the bathing houses and parallel to the beach, while the house that stood next to this building and used as the Larkin dwelling during the summer season, has been moved to the south- ward and beyond the office building.
