e. DENVER, December "a.
Gentlemen of the Trades Assembly:
You r committee on insecure buildings
beg leave tosubmit the following report:
Finding the building being erected on
the orner of Holladay and Sixteenth
streets to be, in our opinion, insecure,
we have placed the subjoined commu-li
cation before the city council, which was
referred to the committee on public
grounds and buildings:
To the Hon. Mayor and Council of the City of
/, Denver:
b Gen ntlemen--We respectfully call the
attention of your body to the building
under process of construction on the cor
ner Of Holladay and Sixteenth streets
which structure, after examination, has
been deemed by this committee as inse-
cure, from the fact that the foundation
is wholly inadequate to support the i'm
mense weight of such structure, being
built upon narrow trenches of concrete
within two feet of the surface of the
ground. The superstructure is also being
constr ructed of the poorest material, the
entire back wall being composed Of
mortar and debris of old torn down
brick buildings AS we understand it is
to be used as place OF amusement, with
a probability that-should it remain
standing until completed-a large num-
Der of people will be gathered on the
inside, we would earnestly recommend
that your honorable body instruct your
building inspector to thoroughly examine
the structure before being opened to the
public.
COMMITTEE. ,
The seats ofzshree delegates were de-
clared vacant by the president, the con-
stituti on requiring that such shall be
the course pursued with any delegate
who shall be absent two successive meet
ings. Considerable was said on this sub
iect, it being desired that delegates
should call the attention of their re-
spective unions to the clause in the
constitution of the assembly defining
the matter, and all were instructed to
bring the matter up at the next meeting
of their unions, when the election OF
delegates for the next six months will
take place. and enforce upon the minds
of their members that only members
who were likely to prove attentive and
punct,lal should be chosen as delegates.
Mr.. Lennon gave notice that he would
introduce at the next meeting resolu-
ton fning delegates for absence. This
of course will only have reference to the
first absence and solitary neglect of duty,
the constitution being enforced with ref
erence to absence from two successive
meetings.
The assembly closes its short term
with satisfaction, feeling that considera-
bic good has been accomplished, although
there was great disadvantage to
contend with in the starting of the or
ganization and putting it on its feet. 1t
is desired that at the election of delegates
in the various unions for the first six
months of 1888 that competent and zeal
Gus men be- chosen. There is considera-
able work to be done, and the organiza-
ton can only accomplish its aims by
thorough and concerted action on the
part of those interested. 1t is to be
hoped that the good work inauglrated
in the past two months will be perse-
vered in and the assembly made the
means of doing the good it is capable Of.
