sent distance Of eight feet Commissioners Green,
Tucker, Warren and Others expressed various VIEWS in

progresses is decidedly insecure one. Mr. tucker
moved TO amend the resolution reported by the Oom-
Dittee by substituting wooden beams and Orders for
iron ones now In the building, which plan, adopted
would require no additional appropriation The amend
ment was adopted.
