best calculated to serve the purposes of said
CITY and County, having in view the necessity
OF providing permanent building which will
furnish sufficient and suitable rooms to accom-
modate the different courts and boards of City
aud County officers Hall of Records and also
offices of the various officers of said City and
county" The object OF the act was to secure
permanent and suitable building for the pur-
poses named and the duty enjoined upon the
board OF adopting plans was to further this
OBJECT. Nowhere by the act was the original
board prohibited from changing or modifying
the plans when once adopted. and for the
proper performance OF the duty imposed upon
them 1t was necessary that some discretion
should be left to them in the matter. They
should have power to correct mistakes in plans
once adopted.
They should have power to vary an adopted
plan if further investigation satisfied them
that the execution OF it would not achieve the
end IN view. Nothing in this act can be
fairly said to prohibit the Commissioners from
changing or modifying plans once adopted if,
III their judgment, they believe the changes
or alterations would better meet the objects of
the law
By the act of the Legislature approved March
"a, 1876, the present Board of New City Hall
commissioners was called into being, and was
directed to take charge Of the new City Hall
and the improvements therein, "and to pro-
coed with the construction of the building on
said premises, known as the new City Hall,
according to the plans heretofore adopted for
permanent building, as contemplated by an
act OF the Legislature" etc. 1t is this language
which, appellant claims, deprives the Com
missioners of any and all discretion, and COM
pels them to proceed with the work under
plans adopted by former board.
But such construction is not supported by
reason nor borne out by the lang of the
act itself. 1t cannot be seen why the success
ors Of the original board should not have the
same discretionary powers which were vested
in their predecessors, nor do we find in the
terms of the act any express declaration de-
priving them OF that discretion. By section 4
of the act they empowered to employ an
architect By section it is made the archi-
tect's duty to draw specifications of the work
to be done and to make drawings therefor.
Quite as much room is left for the exec rcse of
discretionary power in the matter OF specifica-
tons as in the matter of original plans, and
discretion over the specifca tions is expressly
awarded the new board, but by section IA of
the act the right of the board to change
adopted plans is expressly recognized. 1t is
there declared, ''No change or modification in
the place (plan) or specification shall be made
after proposals for so doing work or furnishing
materials hall be called for"
We conclude that the discretionary powers
of the present board under the act of 1S75-76
are not different from those enjoyed by their
predecessors, and that the contemplated
change was not in abuse or excess of a reason
able exercise of those powers.

MAY Be A ROUND TOWER,
Powers Of the City Hall
Commissioners Clearly
Defined.
Building Plans May Be Changed by
the Commission When it Is
Thought Best.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the case of Augustus LAYER
against the City Hall Commissioners,
which establishes more fully the powers OF
the commission and more clearly outlines
the scope of its powers. The suit was over
the tower on the City Hall and LAYER
claimed the commission had no power to
change the design originally adopted,
and so sued to have the commission en-
joined from erecting any other. The
lower court affirmed the action OF the Com
missioners and the Supreme Court has
affirmed this decision. In the opinion the
court says:
The question involves the power of the Board
OF New City Hall Commissioners to make any
deviations in the construction of the building
from the plans adopted by the Commissioners
in 1871 under the provisions of the act OF
1870
This question, however, has ceased to be OF
any public importance whatever, and is indeed
of very little concern to the plaintiff himself
by reason OF the ratifying act OF the last LegIs-
lature. which it is conceded yalidates the con-
tract, even it, in the first instance, it was i'm
properly entered into by the Commissioners.
Nevertheless we are of the opinion that the
court properly sustained the demurrer. The
act OF the Legislature creating the new City
Hail Commissioners provided that the Com
missioners should 'adopt such plans for the
erection of said City Hall as in their judgment

BLAZING COAL BUNKERS.
Three Thousand Tons of Fuel on
Fire at the Pacific
Mills.
BIG BUILDINGS MENACED.
Large Force of Men at Work Endeavor.
ing to Subdue the Encroaching
Flames.
BIG BUILDINGS MENACED

Three thousand tons of coal in the great
bunkers at the Pacific Rolling mills in the
Potrero took fire yesterday afternoon, and
if appearances are not deceptive 1t will be
many days before the fire can be extn-
guished, as it is almost impossible for
water to penetrate the blazing heap.
A gang of men employed in the mills
was busy all the afternoon and night
shoveling the unburned coal to place Of
safety, while still another crew handled
the pumps, which poured great
streams upon the fire in the endeavor to
confine the blaze to the bunker in which
it originated.
The bunkers are situated Just back of a
ponderous group of boilers, which in tnrn
directly adjoin the mill. All three are
connected by massive timbers, making it
not only possible but mighty probable for
all the buildings to be destroyed in case
the fire breaks from its confinement in the
bunkers and spreads throughout the ad-
joining buildings.
In case the coal alone is destroyed it
would be necessary, in order to keep the
mill running, to wait until another ship
could arrive and discharge her cargo into
the bunkers, and in all probability the
mill would have to close down during the
intervening period.
There are 500 men regularly employed
at the mills, and if this were to happen it
would be great hardship in their case.
1t is presumed that the fire was caused
by spontaneous combustion. Three years
ago the coal in the bunkers ignited from
the same cause, and it was almost a week
before it could be extinguished.
Up to the present time it is impossible
to ascertain how much damage has been
caused as result of the fire, and how
much more it will cause remains to be
seen.
