An interesting question was decided by
the attorney for the District today. Re
Gently an application was made for a per-
init to build a frame house on part of lot
a IN Browns subdivision OF Mount Pleas
anti 1t appeared that the house, II built
would De within the lines of the proposed
extension of one of the streets Of the city.
The Commissioners requested their attor-
ney to render opinion whether they
have power as a condition Of granting
the permit, to require the applicant TO give
bond to save the District from loss or
damages which may arise be claimed
by the owner for the removal of the build
ing when the street shall be extended
Mr.. Thomas thinks the Commissioners
have no such right.
If the applicant for a permit voluntarily
gives such a bond, the Commissioners have
the right to take IL. He thinks IL is well
in all cases where applicants voluntarily
give such bond to have them do IL.
with his title and the house Is afterward
torn down for the purpose OF extending
the street. and the District is required TO
pay damages, is liable TO reimburse the
Dlstrict the extra expense.
