 On Building Petitions.
 Alderman Beckley reported for the fire committee on the petition of the N Y, N. H. & H. railroad to add to their freight platform. in favor of granting the petition. The report was accepted.
 Alderman Beckley reported on the petition of the John T. Young Boiler company that after careful investiga- ton, with a view of granting ii if pos sible, owing to the fact that the com pany is a young one and should be encouraged, the commissioner S consid- cred the construction of a dangerous nature. He said that on Nov. 27, 1908, the city had voted the sale of land to the John T. Young company for the sum of S100. reserving the rig'h to run tracks across this land. In my mind the lana SllII D61OnSS to LIle CItSs nS said, as they have not built up the sort of buildings agreed upon. con- slider it an imposition for ttese men to come before the council to petition for the right to build this sort of building, and the committee after careful Investigation is opposed to such buildings within the fire limits. Our recommendation is that the peti- tfoner be given leave to withdraw.
 Company Has Material Ready.
 Alderman Gebrath had hoped, he said, that the building permit would be granted. It seems hard to refuse perm ission for this third building when they already have two of the sort. MT. l Young has all the material ready and 1 it will be a hardship to be refused l permission co build. Alderman Beck l ley asked if permits had ever been granted for the buildings already con i structed.
 The council voted to hear Herbert | Wiley and Frederic ". Cary on the | matter. |
