sion. that the ono and one-half story stone

is cracked and spread away from the side
walls of said building and is now overhanging a
part of the sidewalk directly in front of said
building and endangering the lives of passers-
by. and that said wall is liable to fall at any
moment and without warning upon persons
who pass by; That said sidewalk in front of
said building runs along the main street of said
city OF Virginia and is a public thoroughfare
and is being continuously Travelled by the pub

fore said council that Fred Engen is the re-
puted owner OF said building: that he is not a

mlnently dangerous to life and property and
that the parts or portion thereof considered to
be in dangerous condition be either taken
| down or braced. bOlted and repaired in such
manner as to insure safety to life and property
NOW therefore, be it resolved by the COM
mon council of the said city of Virginia, that
the one and one-half story stone building with
brick veneer front. situated on lot % in block
20 in said city of Virginia, be and the same is
hereby declared to be a public nuisance and
dangerous to life and property, for reasons
above stated. and that the committee on
streets, alleys and sidewalks is hereby instruct
ed to forthwith cause any portion of said build
ing considered dangerous to life and property
to be either taken down or bolted, braced and
repaired in such manner as to insure safety to
be taken out OF said building. that the same be
protected with care and that that the same be
stored in some safe place upon said lot. That
the charges and expense of the taking down
or repairing of said building, or any portion
thereof. as is herein ordered, be assessed
against the property upon which said building
now stands.
