Last week it was discovered by several merchants in the 100C block Roanoke Avenue and the 100 block West 10th Street that their awnings had been slashed Other Avenue merchants reported their plate glass windows had been marked or “scored”, obviously with a glass cutter. At the time of the discovery it was thought most of the damage was done in a single night. Now it develops the offenders have continued their activities ov er the week-end. The plate glass front and show windows of Leg gett’s Department Store were dam aged to an extent of approxi mately $750.00 replacement cost, and it is definitely known this damage was done either during the early morning hours Sunday or Sunday night, as the window washer did not notice the damage Saturday morning. Leggett’s is offering a cash re ward of $25.00 for apprehension and conviction of the person, or persons damaging their front. H. S. Loy, manager of the store, is reported to be working on a number of “tips” in the case, and hopes to have valuable clues to turn over to the police by the end of the week. It is apparent the vandals have confined their activities to the uptown business section, and to the East side of the 1000 Roanoke Avenue, and the North side of the 100 block on West 10th Street, as merchants in these two blocks are ine omy ones reporting damages. Two policemen regularly work this area on shifts of from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. on week-days, with extra policemen employed over the week-end. They report seeing no evidence of the offend ers at work. Mayor Kelly Jenkins said this afternoon that while it was true the business section was “under policed”, inasmuch as officers or duty there had to answer calls tc the residential section, he alst pointed out the difficulty of an of ficer catching the violators unlesi he happened to be very close t< the person when the actual dam age was done. It would be pos sible for an officer to be standinj at one end of the block, and no' see the person cutting or scratch ing the windows, particularly i several people were on the stree at the time.
