Committee.
| fully concur in the above report
LUCTUS DILLS,
City Engineer.
The committee recommended tha
the following be given an opportunity
to repair their buildings:
Ray Bros. c. w. Haynes, A. E
| Olson, and Frank Ross.
This committee was composed ot
Messrs. Wyllys, Church and Parsons
and they made their report after a
thorough investigation and in connec
! ton with the recommendations of ii
ty Engineer Dills. (The ordinance in
connection with the investigation OF
the committee was published in
Tuesdays Record.)
The committee recommended that
the Ray building, the old U. S. Meat
Market, be repaired, as they found
that contractors had made investiga-
ton and found that it would not be
necessary to tear the building dowl,
as they could brace it up and make
it substantial by putting in a con
crete foundation. The committee also
recommended that the Olson Bakery
building on South Main could also
be repaired and the Haynes building
in the same block This building was
occupied by Racket store. The COM
mittee also investigated the Ross
building which is occupied by the
Palace saloon and made recommen-
dation that it could be repaired and
ordered that the work should com
mence at once, as it is fire-trap at
present 1t was distinctly under
stood that all repairs on the build
ings mentioned should come under
and strictly comply with the fire or
dinance
There was quite an animated dis
cussion in regard to Judge Evans
residence (Which is now nearly in
ruins). The committee recommended
that it be torn down at once, as it
was dangerous and liable to fall at
any moment Judge Evans had sent
in a verbal statement asking to nave
time as he was of the opinion that
he could save the roof on the build
ing by building up TO it. The COM
mittee had reported this building in
the list of those condemned, and AL
derman Parsons was of the opinion
that the report of the committee
should be accepted. There was fur
ther argument that Judge Evans be
at least given an opportunity to see
whether or not he could repair
it before it was ordered down. Mr..
Wyllys who was also a member of
the committee that made the report
on the condemnation of buildings, IL
so was of the opinion that Judge Ev-
ans should at least be given an op-
portunity to repair the house and
save the roof. Dr. Kinsinger declar-
ed that Judge Evans should be given
an opportunity to save his house 4
possible. Mr. Parsons after lengthy
talk made a motion that the report
of the committee be rejected. He
did not get a second to his motion.
Mr.. Parsons declared that the Coun-
Gil was letting sympathy get away
with judgment in the matter. as the
building was dangerous. Mr.. Wyllys
replied in characteristic manner: Il
don't deny it, neighbor. / would not
go near the house for any amount of
money, but / believe in giving Judge
Evans show to repair the house If
it is possible to do so.' Finally after
much wrangling, the report of the
committee was accepted by unani-
