BUILDING LAW
TO SATISFY ALL
CHANGED RULE ACCEPTED
EVEN BY INSPECTOR
MANsARD ROOF PROVISIONS FOR
ALEXANDRIA ANNEX
Must Not Extend Beyond the General
Face of Street Walls and Top
Line Must Be IS Feet
Back

With a change in the building or
dinance to which even Building In
spector j. j. Backus makes no objec-
tion, a provision will be made for 12
story buildings by the city council next
Tuesday.
Last week the council passed an or
dinance increasing the height limit Of
business buildings of class A construc-
tion from $50 to $50 feet. This was done
at the request of the syndicate that
proposes to erect q S2,000000 annex TO
the Hotel Alexandria. The building
inspector and others protested against
it because 12-story buildings were said
to be too high for the narrow business
streets and they would make the
streets gloomy canyons. The mayor
objected to signing the ordinance, but
yesterday J. w. Mitchell, who is in
terested in the syndicate, suggested a
compromise to the mayor, which the
mayor was glad to accept. He held
consulta ton of such councilmen as he
could reach, and they, too, agreed TO
the change.
The ordinance will provide that the
building cornices must be kept at $50
feet above the street level, but that the
mansard roof may be constructed thirty
feet high, twenty-five feet back from
the street walls.
The mayor will return the ordinance
to the council Tuesday and the cor
rection will be made. 1t will be as
follows:
provided, however, that mansard
roofs may be erected above the 150-foot
limit to a height of not to exceed thirty
feet, or $50 feet from the level of the
sidewalk. Such mansard roofs shall
not extend beyond the general face Of
the street walls of the building and
shall recede from said street walls of
the building at such an angle that the
top line of such mansard roof shall be
at least twenty-five feet back from the
face of the street walls of the building.
And, provided further, that no dormer
or other window or structure shall pro-
ject beyond the line of the street walls
of the building. Nor shall such dormeT
windows or structure be wider than ten
feet. nor more than twelve feet in
height. and such dorner windows shall
be al least fifteen feet apart"

better to have the questions submitted
at some other time.
His advice was based on the fact that
the charter requires that two-thirds of
all the votes cast must be in favor of
the sale of city property or it cannot be
done. This does not mean that the
vote must be two to one in favor Of
the project, but that two-thirds of the
vote cast for mayor must be in its
favor. 1t is a recognized fact that many
voters viii mark their ballots for can
didates for offices, but pay no attention
to other questions on the ballot.
Mayor Alexander yesterday declared
he recognized the charter provision

the property almost prohibitiVe at TINS

cipIe involved.

ALLEGES TREATMENT IN
PRISON CAUSED INSANITY
Declares He Was Subjected to Cruel
ties in South Dakota Insti-
tutions

]. Burns, SO years of age, tottered into
the police station yesterday and asked
the chiefs secretary Ora May, To pro-
tect him from the officers Who have
been bounding him from place to place.
After being questioned, Burns gave
wild answers and when he declared the
police turned on the electricity and kept
him awake at night, he was taken into
the receiving hospital, where the po-
lice surgeons issued a certificate of in
sanity in his case.
Burns said the treatment accorded
him while he was serving sentence
for murder and robbery, in a South
Dakota penitentiary, unbalanced his
mind and after enduring it for five
wears. he became so erratic he was re-
moved to an insane asylum where he
was kept for fourteen months,
He said he was subjected to the ut
most cruelty at both places and when
he was released the police of that state
bounded him so reientessly ne was
compelled to leave the state.
He was sent to the county hospital
where he will be held pending his hear
ing before the insanity commission.

WHO SOLD
The BEER?
OLD PENINSULA PICNIC BOOZE
CASE COMES ON FOR HEARING
TODAY.

An old acse came up in police court
this morning, that of a charge against
Deponte for having liquor for sale at
the Peninsula on July 81 during a cele-
bration by society of young folks.
1t seems that several kegs of beer
were secured for the picnic, or what
ever it was and the necessary license
was not obtained fer the dispensation
of the booze.
Charles Chillingworth defended the
gentleman charged and Deputy City
and County Attorney A M Brown pro-
secuted.
One of the witnesses put on the stand
for the prosecution testified that he
was so drunk that he could not re-
member who sold him the booze or
whether he was at Pearl City or not.
He had started drinking before he tosk
the train; he knew that he got off
somewhere, but he would not swear
whether it was at the Peninsula or
BARRIERS Point or San Francisco.
Another witness was apparently
afraid to talk at all and third con-
tradicted what he had said in a former
and similar case.
The case is one in which it seems
certain that liquor was sold, but the
proposition is to nail the responsible
party. Judge Andrade continued the
matter until Thursday.
