BUILDING PERMITS.
Discussion of the subjeoi-A Census by
the Police.

Discussion of the subieoi-A Census by
the Police.
The Common Council met in called ses-
sion last night at : o'clock. The object Of
the meeting was to consider the report Of
the Committee on Fire Department in re-
gard to permits to erect frame buildings.
The committee recommended the adoption
of a number Of building permits which had
been put in the hands Of the Committee on
Fire Department since the last meeting.
Chairman Carneal explained that since
the late discussion of the subject by the
Council and the statement by several men,
bers that they would not vote for any build
Ing permit where the house was commenced
before the petition reached the Council. the
people had been afraid TO 20 on with their
buildings and desired immediate action on
their petitions.
Mr.. Houston offered a substitute, which
provides that permission 10 erect a frame
building, or addition thereto, shall first be
gotten from One-fourth of the property -hOld-
crs on the square, and the fact of said per-
mission published in the paper having the
contract for the city advertising. The chief
or acting chief of the Fire Department shall
then endorse the application, and it shall
then be submitted To the Committee on Fire
department. W ltltu Niidil nav lut loNtl W
grant or reject any and all applications.
The committee also recommended an
amendment TO the city ordinance in regard
10 granting permits for frame buildings so
that the Committee on Fire Department
may grant these permits, but the property
holders may make objection and notify a
policeman. and then the building cannot be
constructed until the action Of the commit
tee has been approved by the Council.
The Whole matter, with the papers, was
referred ~ the Committee on Ordinances.
MIR. Dlac9nt presented a petition from the
citizens OF ttn'on asking for better street
