 The borough meeting held on Mon- day evening voted to indefinitely postpone aotion on the matter for which it was called ito instruct the court of hurgesses to license the building of an iron covered structure by the firm of G. H. Baker $ Go. as an extension to their furniture ware house. This was done on motion of the Bakers, who had been active in calling the meeting, though from it's make up the vote of instruction would have gone through with little opposition. There was mo- ticeable absence of taxpayers and of sign CTS of the petition, many of whom it was known were opposed to granting it, though willing to give the public chance to pass ,pon Tbora fno1iOo which had been impressed upon the nov CTS, that the vote if passed would have been a virtually annulling of the fire dis / trict ordinance, and an opening of the ing restrictions. The vote, if passed would have had no binding force upon the b4Igesses, save as a recommendation, anC would have been practically a vote of cen sure upon them for acting up to their con oeption of tho responsibility involved il their oath of office and their duty to the public. It is understood that the pro posed extension will now be built of wood with brick veneering, as allowed under the ordinance. A structure of this kinC is less liable to take fire from the outside though the walls are but little protection for adjoining property, and naturally arr not very safe for firemen or fire apparatus to wurk under. Still in that location sucl @ structure will be much better than wood or iron covered building, and it making will be deference to local law tha ic fol f0 ho hv1i1 sion will be 67x4O, nearly doubling tn present size of the block, and in conneC tion herewith it is proposed to put in a iron and plate glass front that will mak the building an ornament to the prom nent position which it occupies.
