The committee on new buildings, con-
sisting of Aldermen Little, Thompson
and MCGOWAN, held hearing last night
to consider the question of allowing the
erection of the stable mentioned in the
following remonstrance:
We, the,undersigned residents and pro-
perty owners adjacent to the property of
Charles F. Dunlap, 60 Hampshire street,
demonstrate against the building of a
stable by said Dunlap, on the grounds
that 1t viii cause danger by fire and
nuisance ny reason of stencil and noise.
we feel that something should be done
to protect those who do not have stables,
and allow them the air of heaven to
breathe without being laden with the
strong stencil of stables within the reach
of ones hand from the window of his
house. Signed),

Mr.. Dunlap was present and was his
own lawyer. OF the remonstrants Mr..
Colesworthy was present, and his case
was argued by Judge Peabody Judge
Elder was present in the interests of Miss
Caroline Staples of Minneapolis, who
owns property in the vicinity. Mr.. Coles
worthy told how Mr.. Dunlap obtained the
property and intimased that he had not
used him fairly and declared that he
wouldn't soft-soap him again; that it
was a long road that had no turning and
that he'd get even with him sometime
Judge Peabody made a long argument
He said that the stable was to be placed
close to Mr.. Colesworthy's line close to
Mr.. Ripley's line and close to the Murray
stable, but as far away as possible from
his own building. This showed that Mr..
Dunlap himself objected to the building
as much as the others. Judge Peabody
intimated that because the stable is to be
larger than is necessary and because it is
close to Murray's stable there is reason to
suppose that there is some truth in the
statement that this Dunlap stable is to
become in the future stable for Muir
rays horses and worse still stable for
Murray's sick horses-a horse hospital.
Mr.. Dunlap denies this-"I do most de-
cidedly" interrupted Mr.. Dunlap but it
seems that Notwithstanding this state
menJ of his this superstition as to the
future of the stable should be considered
as an objection to it's erection.
Judge Elder made brief objections of
similar nature.
Mr.. Dunlap stated that he had simply
asked for permission to build a building
to be used as stable and storehouse.
He saw no reason why the permission
this petition was made last fall and
granted-should not hold good The
reason that the stable was larger than
apparently necessary was because he was
building it to be used as a storehouse by
George c. Frye, the druggist, for empty
glass BOTTLES; also for him to use for his
horse and carriage.ss
He proposed to cover it with iron and
make it hre-proof. In regard to Murray's
stable he would be glad to unite with
the other neighbors and buy him out.
He thought it was nuisance Just as
much as the rest did.
The committee had been down to view
the premises. Each side had made plans
of the location of the stable and Mr..
Dunlap says that Alderman Thompsons
said that the plan of Mr.. Colesworthy was
| wrong. The committee took the matter
under advisement, and decided that Mr.,
Dunlap might build.
