the plan so as to comply with the law. He went
on, however, and finished the buildings iu violation
of the law and the was referred to Mr; Flndley

tuned to "let up" on Mr.. Duffy, but ne refused.

sued only for the coll elton of the penalty. Re-
Gently he reported TO the Fire Commissioners that
judgment had been obtained against Mr.. Duffy, and
that the Court had decided that the Bureau OF
Buildings had the right To insist on the substitution
of iron orders for wooden glrders in the houses
Mr. FindIey wrote that he did not know whether
Mr. Esterbrook desired to proceed any further In
the case, but he suggested that new notices could
be issued if it was desired TO remove the viola

letter of Mr. Findley was shown to him. tie wrote !
out history OF the case and called the attention OF
the Commissioners to the fact that Mr.. Fndley had
been requested to for the removal OF the VIOLA

pied by the Commissioners, which requires that
in such cases the removal ofthe violations ls 90
be considered by the attorney as more Important
than the recovery of the penalty He concluded
however to Issue now-petices, IN order that Mt
FIndley might haze another opportunity to take
the case before the courts.
