.<enehan is of the opinion that the

CARELESS WORK
CAUSE OF
PROTEST

John Wise has not been arrested
for refusing to carry out the orders OF
sanitation campaign inspector. II
DR.. Currie, head of the campaign, in
vestigates the matter, he will iind
that the complaint made against Wise
by the morning paper is not based on
facts.
II was because the laborers In
Wise's neighborhood were cutting
down trees and shrubs indiscrimin-
ately yesterday that the whole trou-
BILE arose, not because Wise objected
to the carrying out of DR.. Currie's
orders.
DR.. Currie's orders are to cut ban
ana trees? Yesterday an overzealous
inspector, misunderstanding orders,
had laborers emitting down orange,
mango and pear trees.
"The facts of the matter are sim
ply these" said Wise this morning.
AS went to my home last night
saw all along the road In the upper
Fort street district, mango, pear,
orange and other trees that had been
cat down and piled up waiting for
carts to carry them away.
"As ! got to my yard, an Inspector,
a non-commissioned officer came out
and said, You will have TO cut down
all your banana trees

ny banana trees? Do you mean pear
trees and mango trees anu orange
;rees?' asked him this because he
had evidently been In charge of the
cutting in that neighborhooi and on
my way home complaints were made
to me that the laborers had slashed
right and left.

a number Of important amendments
will be made to the new building ordi-
nance which has been In effect but a
few months. with the final adoption by
members of the board of city and
county supervisors.
That the building ordinance was In
need of alteration and general tight
ening of such restrictions as pertain
to the wholesale erection of frame
shacks about the city, was made known
Mt n meeting of the board held last
evening, when the amendments were
presented through Chairman Kruger Of
the sanitation and health committee.
The changes proposed In the provisions
of the ordinance will greatly affect the
prospective builder of the cheap dwell
ing both In and out of the fire limits.
Heretofore fees for permits were only
demanded on structures costing $500 or
over. The same also applied to alter
ations and repairs.
The board unanimously adopted an
amendment which will make the ordi-
nance applicable to structures or re-
pairs at n cost of 800 and upward. II
Is argued that by the adoption of this
amendment the city authorities will he
better able To control the erection of
fiimsy shacks and ut the same time
add considerable revenue to the build
Ing and plumbing department. It Is
also stipulated that separate permit
for each piece OF work will he required
