The only lively incident of the council
meeting last night grew out OF the NOV.
ing OF an OLD shack from the front OF the
olympus theater. AT the previous meet
lug Nldler Bros. 4 Mcdonald asked per.
mission to move the shack to the rear OF
he lot it stood on, and the request was
referred to Fetterman, who. without ex-
animation, issued a permit for its remov-
al to another lot. This brought protest
from other occupants OF this lot, who,
stating that the shack was now being
moved, asked the council to revoke the
permit. The council ordered Fetterman
to tear down the shack, evidently bellev-
ing that as he had originated the trouble
it was but fair he should have share
of it.
1t was decided to refuse the application
for stand pipe on the roof of the HAYES
Hayes Maley building, on the ground
that If this practice obtained, it would
prove a handicap to the fire department
in time of fires. 1t was determined to
permit the parties to place fire hydrant
on the street, at their own expense, if
they so desired.

ordering 5000 pound bell, at 81 . cents
