NOW UP TO
THE COUNCIL
Is the Question Of the Erection of an
Unlawful Building Within the
Fire Limit.

Editors West Virginian:
AS the sun made its appearance in
the eastern horizon on yesterday, so
did wagon loads of lumber and q gang
of workmen who hurriedly began the
ing. 1Sx4o feet at the corner of
Bridge and Water streets.
This building was to have been
made of the cheapest material possi-
Bile and occupy one of the best bust
ness corners in the First ward. In
stead of using regular siding for
frame house they were going TO use
sheeting lumber, and the roof would
have been of a long fiat design, and
covered with paper. The worhmen
were busy at this work when the
mayor, learning of the erection OF the
building, ordered them to cease. The
mayor is commended for his prompt
action in stopping the erection of
such a building. In the first place,
the laws of our city require permit
before you can build any building, and
this the builder failed to secure: this
location is in the fire limit, and the
ordinances of our town say that no
building of this character can be
erected in this section of the city;
again, this building is directly under
the wires that hold up the suspension
bridge, and a building of these dimen-
sions. 1Sx4O #, put up on the style of
a sheep-shed, should not be permitted
to be erected on one of the best bust
ness corners of our city
The matter will be finally settled
in council Friday night, when it is
hoped by the best citizens of the First
ward that the action of the mayor in
carrying out the laws of our city, will
be sustained. If this permit is grant |
ed, council should at once repeal the
fire ordinance OF our city.

few days the young man addresses n
note to the lady, which he manages to
throw up to the window or to convey
to her by some maidservant not averse

from the balcony, and the wooer thus
learns that he may join the family in
its walks. The mother silently ac-
