PALACE HOTEL


President Duffey of the RoatG Of
Works has ordered E. NJ. Mcclellan to
stop forthwith the work of razing- the
walls of the Palace Hotel ruins until
such time as certain conditions to safe
guard human life have been compiled
with. Duffey directed Mcclellan last
week to build 4 scaffolding around the
walls, from which they must be taken
down piecemeal 10 the third story.
Duffey also wants a protecting deck
built at the f-.s. story to prevent fail
ing bricks striking the heads of Pc
destrians. Mcclellan has failed to
comply with the orders and Duffey says
he will not allow the walls to be pulled
down until he has done so.
Duffey's men are finishing the work
of pulling down dangerous walls on
Suffer street and will proceed to tear
down the walls of buildings in the
rear of the French church on Bush
street. The fathers of the church
named complained of the danger to
which their proposed new edffice will
be subjected if the walls complained
