Captain Daniel Herlehy, the Attorney
of Irlshtown, running for Council, to
succeed Major M. U. Johnson does not
receive a warm support from tue DEM
ocratie leaders, W whoa the Captain has
been aiding for thirty years. This Is in-
gratitude.
We mentioned some time since the
passage of an ordinance making a fire
limit wherein wooden buildings should
not be constructed, unless on certai n
conditions. The same by committee was
so amended as to make it worthless, so
far as prote to the property holders
OF the city is concerned. Wooden build
ings are still erected, and cid roofs are
recovered with shingles, and the ordi-
nance might just as well be repealed for
all the good 1t does. Everybody's busi-
ness is nobody's business. Yet we think
sour ceuneilmen would be justly held re-
sponsible for q general coHfagration
should one occur, originating in
wooden covered old range OF rickety
brick buildings.
