Stop and think Doesn't man who owns any real estate always command your re- spect2 Don't you think, "Oh, he's all right. Ain't you little more willing to listen to him than to the man unattached to any worth? It's natural to feel thus, and 1t may be right. Surely respect is due to the man who sits down and intelligently thinks about his position, how to get along in the world, and who then puts his thought into action. There is no reason why you shouldn't do the same. We don't care if you get six dollars a week, or six hundred dollars. We can help you to prosperity and 1t won't take us long to tell you how we'll do it.

AGAINST THE SALT TRUST.

General ]. NJ. Sheets has been asked II
begin proceedings against the United Salt
Company of this city for alleged viola
tions of its charter and the anti-srast
laws of Ohio. The proceedings. il brought
Will be OF the same nature as those
against the Standard Oil Company by At
torney General Monnett- A letter to the
Attorney General has been mailed by At
torney Arnold Green Green says in the
letter that in May and June, 1899. the
company made contracts running until
1902 with number of packing eompan-
les in Chicago TO furnish them with salt
for $21S per ton Before May 1, 1900. the

price of salt went up to about 50 per ton

HOUSE g HERRMANN 9o' and "s ses ss sysat . Street. i


a frontage OF 141 feet in Fourteenth Street
and will extend back 10 a depth of 40
feet, and be so placed as TO leave one lot
sixteen feet wide between its south wall
ard Street lots . and ! being owned by
the same person.
According TO the proposed plan of the
building" Mr.. Duvall further explained.
Its south wall Is treated in manner
similar to its front wall, with doors and
windows designed for light and. yentila-
tion, and such other purposes as are in
cidental to such building. The question
for decision Is whether the applicants
have complied with the requirements of
section 10 of the building regulations,
which is as follows:
No building shall be erected or con-
verted for use as a market unless the per-
son or persons applying for permit TO
erect or convert the same shall file with
the inspector of buildings the written
consent of the owners of more than one
half of the property situated in the
square ON which said building is to be
located. and of the owners of more than
one-half of the property situated on the
confronting side or sides OF the opposite
square or squares
This section was evidently designed 10
protect the owners of adjacent property
from the injury and inconvenience which
may be supposed to result from the estab-
lishment of a market building. While the
south wall of the proposed building is
located as a party wall, yet it is pro-
vided with doors and windows similar to
the front wall, so that to all intents and
purposes the proposed market building
will front on V Street as we'll as on Four
teenth Street, the manifest intention Of
the owners being to use as appurtenant 10
the building the narrow lot owned by them
situated between the building and V
Street.
'It appears TO me that this is an evasion
OF the building regulations. and that the
consent of the owners of more than one
half of the property situated on the con-
fronting side Of the opposite square, 272,
should be first obtained. l am of opinion
that the present application is not in CON-
pliance with the provisions of section 170

The Commissioners yesterday granted a
hearing to property holders and others in
terested in preventing the construction of
a market house on lots to Z inclusive,

Street northwest, between V and W
Streets. The application for building the
market house in question was made by
Robert Head and F. r. Percival to the In
spector of Buildings. who asked that the
matter might be referred TO the Attorney
for the District for an opinion upon the
question whether the consent of one half
or more Of the property holders interest
ed must first be obtained. Mr. Duvall ad-
yised the Commissioners that the applica-
tion is not in compliance with the pro-
visions OF section 10 of the building regu-
lations and that 1t should be denied
1T appears" explained Mr. Duvall,
that the applicants have obtained the
consent of the owners OF more than one
half Of the property in the square upon
which the proposed market is TO be erect
ed. and OF the owners Of more than one
half Of the property situated on the con-
fronting side of the opposite square in
