El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-06-02
To Celebrate July 4.

Blumenthal said: Il have been asked
to bring up the matter on the Fourth
Of July celebration in order that it may
be determined what the city will do. I
would not favor our going to any great
expense, as 1 think we can have a good
celebration without the expenditure of
any great amount of money"
Alderman McGhee said: I already
have a petition which was referred to
my committee. Edgar Kayser, chair
man of the merchants committee, was
to have learned just what they wanted
the city to do and inform me OF it. They
state in their petition that they want
the city to appropriate sum equal to
that they shall raise but they do not
say whether this will be $50 or $780, so
l am waiting to hear from them
Blumenthal said: Il think they will
want about $1,000"
Mayor Robinson then referred the
matter TO the police and sanitary and
finance committees for further inves-
tigation TO report back next Thursday.
Wall Causes Trouble
The removal of an adobe wall on the
east line of w. J. Jewels property on
San Antonio and Ell Paso streets. occu-
pied the attention of the council. Fewel
and Quinsella. the owner of the adjoin-
ing property, have agreed to erect a
wants the present adobe wall torn out
so he can begin construction but Rosen-
wald, occupant of the property, pro-
tested, as il would leave him without
the projection of a wall.
w. NJ. Petticolas representing Rosen-
wald, asked that it be not torn down at
this time "This thing has happened
before and I understand that from S. to
SO a day ha sheen paid while a wall is
down." he said. 1T does got seem to
me a fair thing to do; the purpose is to
use the city for a club against Rosen-
valid, who is an innocent third party.
They intend to put in a party wall
which would require bringing over the
ceiling, floor and front. Mai. Fewel re-
fuses to do anything and says he will
get the city after these fellows If you
condemn 1t, Quinsella probably would
not take It out and the city would have
to do it and we will practically be out
in the street"
Mayor Robinson said: My attention
was called to the danger of the wall and
we investigated it,
Peticolas said: 1.-The wall will have to
come down in three weeks"
Robinson: I'VE will ask our city at
torney. We will not do anything against
the law"
Peticolas: L simply ask that under
the circumstances, the city do not con-
denim the wall at this time. Someone
will have to hold up the ceiling. 1t is
not fair to let Maj. Fewel use the city
as a club. 1t is a matter between
Fewel, Quinsella and Rosenwald.''
Hewitt said: II believe Mr.. Peticolas
is taking the right view. 1 know Mr..
Rosenwald is an innocent party This
was practically understood by the coun-
ell week ago and / believe it should
be deferred so they could agree among
themselves
Robinson asked how much would it
cost to put up false temporary wall.
Hewitt: Il expect it would cost about
800 and would require about one day"
