ASTHAT GRANTED MONDAY
Mr.. Hale Implies That the Council Lacks
Common Sense, and Declares That
1t Is Not Treating Him
Fairly or Justly.

A special meeting of the city council
was held last evening to consider an
application from o. Fl. Hale for a per-
nit to make alterations in the Pavilion.
Mr.. Hale asked for a permit on Mon
day evening and one was granted to COM
ply with the building laws. Mr.. Hale did
not like the conditions and put in q new
application which only asked for per
nit to raise portion Of the roof eight
feet and put windows in the easteTIy
end OF the building. The application
as soon as read, was referred to the fire
committee, which retired and in a few
minutes brought in this report:
That as this petition is similar TO the
one granted by the city council on Mon
day evening the 18th, only that it has
been modified, as reported on Monday the
foundation is not such as to warrant
putting any heavier building on it. We
would therefore recommend that a per
NIT be granted and that the foundation
be built SO as to carry the addition. BY
putting in sold masonry and brick waiia
as specified in the report OF Monday.
the roof and end to be Of wood covered
with iron and the door to be hung so
as to swing outward. Should Mr.. Hale
want to extend his alterations beyond
the is feet specified in his petition ha
shall build with masonry and brick the
same as in the foregoing report, as tn
solidity Of basement, thickness of walls,
etc"
Alderman Burke moved the report be-
accepted and it was seconded by Alder
man Adie.
Mr.. Hale, who was present, asked uer-
mission to say word He declared IL
would be impossible to put in solid
foundation as called for, this fall. but
he was willing to put granite corner
stones under the building sufficient to
cary the weight Of the structure.
Alderman Adie said the committee, to
whom the matter was reported, had look
led the premises over very thoroughly.
and it was their duty to look after tie
Interests Of the public. The building
rs not safe now. We have the city or
dinances to govern our actions, and wa
would be very foolish to set them aside
simply to please Mr.. Hale.
Mr.. Hale replied that any one with
common sense could see that what he ask
Led was only reasonable and he thought
the council should grant his request.
Alderman Adie retorted that others
were made to live up to the ordinances
and he saw no reason to make an excep-
tion in Mr.. Hale's case. If he thought
the fire committee lacked common sense
be would find out differently.
Mr.. Hale said he had the property
there and he must use 1t so that 1t would
pay mm, TO which Adie replied that it
was the dollar only that Mr.. Hale was
looking after, while they had to look to
the safety Of the public.
Mayor Barclay added that the addi-
ton Mr. Hale wanted to make only add
ed more tinder to the place.
The report was accepted by by un-
animous vote.
Mr.. Hale remarked that he didn't
think it fair or just.
The matter of q surface sewer on
Pearl street was referred to the street
committee with power to act.
The bill of j. i. Arlxlev for $37. so
for work clearing up about the Arkley
place near the Orange reservoir was or
dered paid.
