City Fire Limits.

The limit fixed by the Council with
in which wooden houses cannot be
erected, does not give general satisfac-
ton. There are two fire districts; one
prohibits the building of wood
structures, and the other any act
which may increase the chances of
contlagration. Both are clearly de-
fined in the Ordinance Published in
the HERALD some days ago. There
are several reasons why the Council
should not be too exacting in enforc-
ing the provisions of fire limit ordi-
nance. First, incombustible building
material is not to be had in abundance;
bricks are scarce, and we have not the
wood to burn them; stone is also
scarce. Second, wood is the most de-
sirable building material; lumber is
much cheaper than brick. Third, Los
Angeles is growing city, and the de-
mand for buildings more than exceeds
the supply. Fourth, outside of the
business heart of the city, Los Angeles
is place of cottage houses and villa
residences. Fifth, fires are never used
except for cooking purposes, and the
liability to confiagration is therefore
greatly lessened. Our city authorities
should carefully guard against doing
anything which will tend to checking
the building activity now prevailing.
We had better run the small risk of
fire than prevent the building of SUBJ
stantial and handsome dwellings or
business houses. If the Ordinance
passed few days ago is enforced, sew
eral buildings commenced, or about to
be commenced, will have to be aban-
doned. We make these suggestions
in the hope that the Common Council
will consider carefully all acts in ref
erence to fire limits, and do nothing
which will retard the growth of the
city.
