Concerning the Inter-ocean Building

Concerning the Inter-Ocean Building.
Secretary James N. Boyce. of the Build
ing Trades Council, recently addressed a
letter to the Commissioners, in which at
tention was called to the alleged unsafe
condition of the Interocean building on
Ninth street. In his letter, Mr.. Boyce
said that previous order for the re-
buildingof tn frontof the structure has been
ignored, and that in the opinion OF the coun-
Gil the wall is in dangerous condition
Presidential. A. Thomas, OF the Interocean
company, denies that the walls are unsafe
Hesays yseverynecessary precaution has been
taken to render the structure safe, and that
1t is safe. To rebuild the front would. he
said, incur cost OF not less than $15 ,0O0
Being an unnecessary expenditure, he .ie-
ciines to have the work done, and invites
inspection as the building stands as to its
safe condition.
