IT IS An AIMING, NOT 4 SHED.

OPPOSITION TO IT'S ERECTION IN WEST BROAD
wAY-wHAT THE ORDINANCES REQUIRE
Complaint was made to The Tribune yesterday
that a wooden shed was being erected contrary TO
the law over the sidewalk at the corner OF Ncsey-
st. and West Broadway. The writer denounced IN
vigorous language the erection OF the shed In west
broadway, a thoroughfare on which such large
sum OF money has recently been eXpehueo 10 "'0e'

Ing which being constructed In front OF

occupied by the Peter Duryee Hardware Com
pany The awning to have been nifty or sixty
feet long. covering the whole sidewalk. and sup
ported by iron pillars.
The superintendent OF the company tod the re-
porter that the owner Of the new building was
widow living In New-Jersey. Some time ago the
builders got a resolution passed by the Board OF
Aldermen permitting the erection Of an awning IN
front OF the structure They then applied TO the
Board OF Public Works for further permit II
was denied them, because there Is an ordinance
which permits the erection OF awnings under GER
tain conditions. Work on the awning In question
had proceeded without interruption until Monday
when a representative OF the Bureau OF Encum
brances ordered the work stopped. He told the
builders that they not complying with the
law They had put In rafters Of wood instead Of
metal
Tho builders claimed the law did not state what
material the rafters should be made OF, but re-
ferred only to the posts and crossbars
The outcome that the Bureau OF Encum-
brances Informed the Police Department that the
| awning was illegal. and yesterday the builders
| promised to take II down and put up another In
strict compliance with the ordinance.
Assistant Superintendent Lloyd. OF the Depart.
| ment told the reporter that permits were not
| granted for the erection Of awnings because the
ordinance permitting their erection passed In the
spring of 1855 had been upheld by the courts In
ire case OF Hoey Gilroy. He said II was about
the only city ordinance which the courts had ever
