FIRE COMMITTEE.
No SmOk ehOuses viii Be Allowed
Inside the Limits.

The request of Schussler Bros. for the
right to maintain steam boiler in the rear
of the premises at 312 Grove street was de-
MED by the Fire Committee of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday. Quite delegation
from ST. Ignatius Church and vicinity OPP
posed the petition vigorously, maintaining
that the locality is strictly residence neigh
borhood, and the presence of large boiler
there would be constant menace to the
residents.
Tie application of T. V. O'Brien for per-
mission to construct bay-windows at dis
tances of two and one-half to thirteen feet
above the sidewalk, on new building to be
erected on the northeast corner Of Pine and
Powell streets, was denied The request was
similar In nature to great many that have
been made to- the Supervisors of late, and
they have decided to take firm stand on all
by denying them as fast as they appear.
The law expressly prohibits the cOnStruc-
feet to the sidewalk, and the Chiet of the
Fire Department asks impatienty every
time the subject comes up, what is the
good of having such law if it is not going
TO be enforced?" Mr.. O'Brien had hardly
left the room before another and similar re-
quest was made by person whose house is
all built and work ready for the construction
OF the Objectionable windows.
=" 1t is not the property-owners' fault"
said Chief Scannell; st the architect is the
guilty man. He knows better when he's
planning the house, but he thinks. if it is
nearly finished before the request is made,
and an appeal is made on the ground that
the plan and symmetry of the building are
at stake, the Supervisors will take com
passion on him and grant the permission.
Might just as well sit down on it right
away" concluded the city's hard-headed
guardian, with stern emphasis.
The smoke-houSe question was again
raised, and the committee decided to recon-
mend an ordinance prohibiting their main
tenance hereafter within the fire limits.
Alfred Clarke's petition for the right to
construct large cistern or reservoir on the
side hill above his residence will be recon-
mended favorably.
The request from the Fire Commissioners
that the Supervisors order the purchase OF
5000 feet Of new hose for the department
was laid over for the present, because there
is no money in the fluid.
