CITY COUNCIL REFUSES.
Building Application of Grant A. Lane
For veneered Building.

The city council at a special meeting
yesterday afternoon voted not to grant
permit to Grant A. Lane to build a
large two-story building for an auto
mobile garage with an assembly hall on
the second floor on his lot on Seminary
street. The only objection the council
had to the building was that Mr.. Lane
wanted to erect frame building with
metal veneered walls and the aldermen
considered that such a construction
would not be safe for that kind of
building and, furthermore, it being with
in the fire district, they decided that
for the best interest of the city the
walls should be solid. Mr.. Lane stat
ed that it would be impossible for him
to erect the building with solid walls
as ii would increase the cost of the
building over twice the amount he had
first planned for and he would have to
give up building it.
