Report accepted and resolution adopted.
The Committee on the Fire Department pre-
sented report, accompanied by an ordinance,
as follows
To the Hon. the Mayor and Common Council
ofthe City Of st. Paul:
The committee of the Fire Department to
who was referred the application of John Luz
kenheimer for permission to erect a frame ad-
ditiOn on the rear of his frame house, situated
ON 1T block 10, in Rice & Irvine's Addition
to the st. Paul and also the application of
A RI
story frame building from its present position
| on the corner of Third and Cedar streets, res
pectfully beg leave to report:
That both of these applications are made to
the Common Council in order to relieve the
applicants from the provision of Ordinance No
rs, entitled IAN ordinance relative to the erec-
ton of certain buildings within certain limits"
That the ordinance in question is founded
upon we'll established principles of public poll
cy, which ought not to be lost sight of by those
who regulate the concerns of this young city.
and that its enactment was demanded by a
large majority of the persons interested in the
property included within the fire limits
Your committee further beg leave to say,
that in their judgment such an ordinance is
worse than worthless unless it is strictly en-
forced. and that it ought not in any manner to
be relaxed unless the party applying can show
some just and equitable reason for the applica-
ton.
With reference to the application of John
Lukenheimer it appears that he had before the
passage of the ordinance obtained the requisite
building material, and made all his prepare
tons to carry on end complete the additions
mentioned in bis application To your COM
mittee these facts seem sufficient to warrant |
them in reporting to the Council an ordinance
for the relief of the applicant which is here an
nexed.
w;th r,eo,o,oo <a .ho ,n,,;.ot:. r. rr
A. Lambert, your committee beg leave to say |
that so far as they can ascertain no such reason
exists
The removal Of the buildi: as contemplated |
by the owner brings it in juxtaposi:ion with
two other franc buildings. and in the opinion |
of the committee greatly increases the risk of |
the surrounding buildings.
Your committee would recommend that the |
request Of Henry A. Lambert be denied, and |
that if he remove said building at all. he be re-
wired to remove said building beyond the |
limits mentioned in Ordinance, No. 26.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
