city could be interested in It is to see that
It conforms to rules of sanitation and uses

WILL SETTLE CITYS RIGHT
Inspector Carter VIII Wreck Con-
demned Buildings Il Owner Re-
fuses to DO So.

Has the city the right to tear down a
condemned building over the protest of the
owner? This Is a question which is likely
to be tested in the courts.
November 20. 1900, the building inspector
Inspected three ramshackle frame struc-
lures on Tenth street, between Capitol
avenue and Dodge street. declared them
dangerous and issued a formal order to the
owner, Mark Hanson, to have them razed.
Hanson diregarded the order, and the build
ibgs still stand. They are a menace to
the public" said Inspector Carter, las they
rock in the wind and are likely to tumble
To- some day and kill some one. In tina
event the city would be liable for dam
ages. Notwithstanding that i'll has ordered
them removed. On the other hand. the city
will probably be sued for damages IL 1t
tears them down. However. the rights OF
the city in such matters might as well be
settled first as last, so I have issued a
notice to Hanson that II the buildings are
not removed by March 10 the city will
wreck them and the costs Of such wreck
age will be assessed against the property.
In this action I have the concurrence OF
all member Of the Advisory board"

PROTEST AGAINST GOLF GAME
Farmers in Vicinity Of Emergency
Hospital Want the Patients
Kept

A written protest against the emergency
hospital patients organizing a golf club.
signed by A. o.. Anderson, John Sanders.
Chris Hansen and p. T. RoIlo. farmers
living in the vicinity of the pesthouse. was
received yesterday morning by the Board OF
Health. II sets out in very emphatic Eng
lish that the organization Of such q club
would be a menace to the health of that
section.
"Our children pass through Ruser's pas
ture on their way to Int from school," says
the petition, and the patients will want
to be drinking water at our wells. In
permitting this liberty you will be defeating
the purpose Of a pesthouse. which is to
protect the public against the spread Of
smallpox.
I'm sorry to see these farmers taking
such a serious view of it, said DR.. Ralph.
They evidently consider golf a bunker
game and don't propose to hazard 1t in
their vicinity"
Df. COnman has not yet decided whether
to grant the request Of the emergency hos
pitai patients.

so that within sixty days q decision could
be had from II determining whether com
promises may legally be made.
He says that Il seems to him that which
ever way the court might decide a. to the
compromises. Il would be for the interest
Of the county to make these purchases. az
It would cause many d~elinquents to pay
up and would enable the county At the ex-
~piration Of two years from the date OF the
certificates to foreclose the certificates, sell
the property N have the proceeds applied

This really Is the only method" ne
says, whereby the collection Of delinquent
taxes can be enforced. l believe the plan
which you are considering would result in
practically placing the county upon a cash
