1t is more than probable that Messrs.
Gill Brothers will be summoned before
the Mayor this morning to answer theI
charge of violating the city ordnance
in erecting an engine-shed and operat-
ing the woodward at the corner of
Tenth and McDonough Streets.
This concern was last week deniedI
a permit to erect the shed by theI
Board of Aldermen. and, In fact, theI
matter has been In the balance Tor
some time past. IT. is understood thatI
the concern yesterday morning conf
menccd to saw wood by the use Of al
gasolcne engine. The ordinance par
tlcularly covers steam engines and
smokestacks, it is said. However, the
case is destined to be an interesting
one, for many objections will be made
for and against the proposition.
Should the Mayor fine the members
Of the concern. they will doubtless APP
peal the case.
May Claim Nuisance.
1t is possible that the ellis cannot
be convicted on the charge of violating
the ordinance under the present condi-
lions, but It has been said that the
property owner will in that event claim
that the yard Is a public nuisance and
should be abated.
The matter will be put up to the
Mayor, and it will be for him to decidp
whether or not the concern is violating
the ordinances
Up to this time Gill Brothers have
not been represented by any attorney,
that is as far as, known, but it is
evident that they have been we'll adj
vised before taking any steps.
