The cost of the improvements Of the shed

ROE MAY BE DISPOSSESSED.
Mayor Can't See Why City Should Pay Rent
of Militia Headquarters.

Major General Charles 2. Roe. commanding the
National Guard of the State may soon be dispos-
of the apparent determinstio of the
city authorities not any longer to pay his office
rent amounting to 81 $50 year. At the meeting of
the Sinking Fund Commission yesterday, when the
question of renewing the lease, which expires on
Nav / Of the offices of General Roe in the Stewart
Building can't up, President Fornes of the Board of
Aldermen asked why the city should pay the rent
all
Mr.. Fornes said that General Roe the major
general over all the National Guard of the State,
and in of that thought the of his head
quarters should he paid by the State instead of by
the city. This opinion seemed be held also by the
Mayor and the Controller. and it decided before
taking any action on the question of a renewal Of
the lease to look up the law.
