the Mulheran property to the Walker
house property be granted Judge
c. W. Lynch, of the official board of
the M. 3. church, which owns the
Mulheran hotel site, who was pres
ent, explained that the church de-
sired to commence work on the
building of its new churc hedifice as
soon as possible and for this reason
the church members and officers
would like to see the permission
granted as 1T would greatly assist
them in the building of their new
church. Councilman Wood object
ed to the motion made by Mr.. Ernst
seconded by Mr.. Halterman on the
grounds that the buildings would be
in the fire limit. Mayor Harmer said
that
There is No Fire Limit
ordinance as the original copy OF the
ordinance passed by council several
years ago had been lost and no rec
ord other than notation that such
an ordinance was passed appears in
the books of the city kept for that
purpose. Upon vote the request was
granted.
Discussion was raised by the grant
ing of the petition concerning the
fire limit ordinance and before ad-
iournment DR.. Halterman made a
motion that the ordinance committee
be instructed to draft new FIRE
limit ordinance and present same to
council but the motion was lost.

mission to erect a one story frame

ance with the law a special meeting
