Interesting.

1t will be interesting to see Mr.. Nc
CuIIough playing OtheH0 to Mr.. Irvings Idgo, if
such arrangement can be made. The signal
success of the association of Booth and Irving in
the same play would give to such an experiment
an unusual importance. America certainly has no
cause to be ashamed of her present representation
upon the English stage.

The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-10-21

The extension Of the fire limits in the
city is, il seems, acting as barrier to the
erection of frame residences, which Cairo
now needs as much as anything else. The
limits have been extended rs far as TWEEN
ty-frst street, including number Of
squares which are as yet not near built up.
One gentleman said few days ago that he
would build len cottages upon unimproved
property in the fire district, but that he
could not obtain permission to build them.
Another who lives about forty miles out
side of the city, has been here for several
days looking for ground about Fourteenth
street somewhere, upon which to build a
large frame business house; and has found
the ground he likes, but finds that it is in
the fire district. He has given up the
idea with which he came here. The coun-
Gil has been in the habit of using
proper discretion in the enforcement of the
ordinance ilXlng the llre lmlts ithat 49, IL mas
given persons who desire to put up sub
stantial buildings in the district included
in tho fire limits which would be credit
to the city, the privilege to do so, and
this is right. one of the objects Of establish
ing fire limits was probably to prevent the
erection of such shanties as di, grace
Ohio lcvee, between Twelfth and -Four.
tenth streets, in the business portion of
the city 1t is probable that if the gen.
tlemen referred to really desire to erect
buildings that will not be disgrace to the
city, they can obtain the privilege to do
so from the council; provided they do not
come too near the present business portion
OF the city.
