The resdjuster5 have dominated Nh. a. W.

elect him. Mr.. Chiffon is lawyer. and IN that
respect, 81 lesst, meets the requirements of the

Moving Wooden Buildings

Moving Wooden Buildings.
10 tbs Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-The track of hurricane
IS not more marked than are the streets
through which a large wooden building re-
Gently passed from Fourteenth to Eighteenth
streets, on Indiana avenue, thence west
through Eighteenth to Clark street, breaking
and crushing its way through the fine, arch
ing shade-trees along the route, without let
or hindrance, the house-mover being sup
piled with permit, which he claimed gave
him the streets from curb to curb and upward
to the skies. Next to ones own family in all
that makes home pleasant are the trees and
shrubbery that are tenderly planted and cared
for till grown to shade and attractive propor-
tions. Hence the ruthless destruction n an
hour, by the house-mover, under author
ity Of the obnoxious ordinance OF
t1, the City Council, i ~ HnPardi9naoie;; P!i9il {;
with consent Of two-tllirds of the lot-owners
upon any block Of ground, an old wooden
building may be removed thereon. Again,
the fire ordinance forbids the repairs OF any
wooden building inside the city, II ire
shall destroy 81 per cent of its value, and no
freinsurance company will pay more than
that per cent Of loss while the building must
be torn down by its owner.
'Ihe fire ordinance and that Tor the removal
Of wooden buildings clearly are inconsistent,
and the latter should either be repealed or
ordered out Of the city limits, some satisfac-
ton would be had for the damages to trees
