The Culture Club.

The Culture Club rendered an
excellent program last Sunday
and the choir is to be especially
commended for such able rendi-

dered an excellent journal.
The remarks by Bishop Mack
were timely and humorous. The
Clubs button will probably be
here tomorrow and all are re-
quested to obtain one-they are
beautiful. The Club has a gi-
gantic plan on foot now and asks
the city to aid. The plan is to
erect building for the Club.
In the way of criticism, we de-
sire to say: the most impressive
thing in church Or such bodies, is
punctuality and uniformity of
work. The members of the choir
should be in their seats at 400
o'clock and the secretary should
read the first order of the pro-
gram without any preliminary
whatever. 1t goes without say
ing that the participants should
be there at 4 100 o clock. We shall
see what will be done.
Reading long string of no.
tices is abominable and should
not be done in the Club.

NOT GRANTED
Special Meeting of Council TO Act
on Building Application.
VIOLATES ORDINANCE
Alderman Lowry Asked Permission to Add
Another Story to tits House but Il
COnfIiCted with Fire Ordinance.

Special meeting of the town council
was called Monday night by Chairman
Whyte to consider an application for Il
building permit from A. b. Lowrey.
The application as read to the coun-
ell requested permission to raise the
top of a one-story store building max
ing it two stories, within the fire limits,
the addition to be constructed of wood.
The clerk was asked to read the or
dinance in regard to wooden buildings
within that limit. The ordinance pro-
hibts the erection of on additions to
any wooden structure within the bounds
of the fire district.
The question was discussed at length
by all members of the council, three of
whom were opposed to granting the
permit ON the grounds that such would
he in violation of the ordinance as they
construed it, viz, Aldermen Wynn,
Edge and Tucker.
Alderman Lowry, who asked for the
permit. contended that the raising of
the roof of a building was not viola
ton, and showed that he was not in
creasing the fire risk by putting his
building closer to any other structure
on covering any more ground than the
original house. Mr.. Lowry stated that
he helped frame the ordinance, and
would uphold it in every instance as far
as the erection of any new wooden
buildings or additions, which increased
the fire risk were concerned.
Mayor Fee, amid the discussion,
stated that as the council had no lat-
tude in the matter and could do nothing
but refuse to grant the permit, but sug-
gested that a provisional clause should
have been inserted to cover such cases,
80 as not to work hardship on citizens
who wished to make small additions,
where there was no additional risk to
fire destruction.
The question was put to a vote and
the permit refused by practically a
unanimous vote, Aldermen Wynn,
Edge and Tucker voting no, and Alder
man Lowry not voting.
Mr.. Lowry had started the work
without thought of violation of an
ordinance he had helped to frame and
pass, and now it is necessary to reduce
the structure to its original position.
