Building More Houses.

+. S. Lindley has for more than
two weeks had a contract to put up
another house for w. G.. Evans on
lvanhoe street. He had not COM
menced work upon II when the fire
limit ordinance was passed last
Monday night,
As the house was TO he located
within the area prescribed as fire
limits Mr., Evans was in a hard
box because the dwelling was to be
a frame (2sx52) and not of brick
or stone or both" The council
could not consistently effect special
legislation Tor Mr., Evans. But, as
the ordinance did not become a
law until il appeared in THR RE-
vIRw, and as this paper could not
publish It till today, the work was
commenced yesterday, The law
cannot be construed as retroac-
tile; hence any building now under
construction cannot legally come
under the ban.
But il was an awful close shave
for Mr., Evans!

Passage o. License Ordinance Waits
For Full Council.

The adjourned meeting OF city
council on Wednesday evening
found Mayor King presidiug--but
Ncssrs. Peterson aud Shields
absent. The former was out on
the road with cigars-while the
latter had no, returned from his
California trip.
The ordinance for the ferry fran
chise was passed and adopted. II
i, shown in another column.
The matter of the license ordin.
ance was taken up--but i'll view OF
the fact that it wonld have re-
quir,d the affirmative vote of
every member in order to suspend
the rules and pass to the third
reading. it was deemed best to
postpone the matter five days.
Mr.. Brice, although voting mo-
on the license question, was almost
tempted to vote Eyes" on suspend
ING the rules because, as he said,
'the ordinance will go through,
runway" He realized, taking the
accent votes as a criterion, that his
one lonesome vote bore no weight
when all councilmen were present.:
but. he argued, as there was no
haste about license till the hotel
was completed, it would do no
harm to postpone action.
George G.. Carhart was granted
permission to make certain inn
provements in front of his pro-
perties OIL Richmond street and the
boulevard.
Mr.. Leggitt had an idea that
more street lights were needed in
the city, end Mr.. Brice coincided.
1t was the general idea of the entire
council that more should be secured
and the proper committee will take
the matter in charge.
Ordinance % was adopted. II
was for the improvement of John
street and the engineers estimate is

An ordinance was ordered drawn
for the closing of all billiard and
