THE BUILDING ORDINANCE
COUNCIlMEN LISTEN TO THE
READING OF FIFTY PAGES
OF DOCUMENT.
They Will Take Up the Remaining
Twenty eight Pages at Another

1t was discovered last night that nu-
merous minor changes will have to be

The council will probably finish the
reading of the ordinance tonight and
then pass it to its second reading by
