Work on the Cary stone building was
stopped Yesterday morning by Marshal
Lille, on orders from the committee on
public improvements. The permit grant,
ed by the council for the construction of
the store room called for fifty-foot
front frontal with party wall. The build
ing as constructed is only twenty-five feet
wide, and the wall on the north is built
OF wood and covered with sheet.iron 1t
is understood that this wall is only tenn
porary, as Mr.. Whitson intends erecting
the companion twenty-five feet in the
near future; but the council committee
had no cognizance of any future estimates
when the permit was granted, and the
marshal was therefore instructed to stop
the work unless both rooms should be
erected and enclosed at once.
