tic revision OF the ordinances bo thorough; and
here lot me suggeat, through TuH TnmuNE, tho
following change In lines ITO to 114, whore 1t
reads: "And tho walls Of tho storios above tho
second shall not DO less than 12 inches In thick
noss, and. with tho exception Of tho front wall,
shall extend at least u inches above the root"
Omit ''and, with tho exception Of tho front wall"
and In place of MA 2iuchea above tho root" insert
at least "24 inches above the roof"
A moments thought Is Ill that ia needed to sat-
1afy any ono Of thesonso Of this Why tho words
we're over thore in the myHterY. As long as that
EXCEPTION romans nearly ovory builder looks
upon it as privilege to ruin tho oof-boardB out
to tlle outer line OF the trout cornice, SO TINT,
whom tho cornfco takes fire, away goeB the roof
How much this silly ordinance haa cost tho city
already would bo interesting to know.
would suggest also that wood-catling OF
boarding, particularly in buslness houBeg, aud
most particularly overhead and under stairways,
khould 10 forbidden.
Al floors should ba deafcnod thoroughly with
at least QUO inch In tliioknoss Of good mortar,

This doafening either botween or above joiats is
