The Committee on the Fire Department pre-
sentcd report, accompanied by an ordinance,
as follows
| To the Hon. the Mayor and Common Council
ofhe City Of st. Paul:
The committee of the Fire Department to
who was referred the application of John Luz
kenhemer for permission to erect frame adj
dition on the rear of his frame house. situated
on 1T I block 10, in Rice & Irvine's Addition
to the St. Paul and also the application of
Henry A. Lambert, to remove a certain one
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 cree
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 applca-
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
mttee 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.
With reference to the application of Henry
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:on 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.
