wanna and Washington Avenues.
Building Inspector John Nelson paid
visit to the old Monies and Pugh
building on the south side of Lacka-
wanna avenue, at the corner of WASH
ington avenue, yesterday morning and
decided, after careful survey Of the
premises. that it was unsafe and posted
up notices.
The structure is on old one and what
has caused its present dilapidated con-
dition IL the working of the printing
presses in the second story in the es-
tablishment Of +. II. Gerlock. The floor
has detected three inches.
Mir. Nelson has no power, according
to law, to close up the building and
forbid further tenancy, but it IS his
duty to inspect places and make a re-
port. Then those who persist in re-
naming in a condemned building after
notice of its unsafe condition has been
made know, do 50 at their own per.
sonal risk.
