The first effort for street paving
campaign for the season struck snag
and was brought up short in the city
council Monday afternoon when a res
olution of necessity, introduced by
Councilman Herman, to pave long
list of streets, failed to receive a sec
ond. Neither Mayor Jones nor Coun-
Gilman Lamb are ready to consider
paving. so neither would second the
resolution.
Both think that Herman picked the
wrong streets, and too many of them.
Hermans list included parts Of twelve
streets and avenues and provided for
thirty-two blocks of pavement.

Commissioner Reynolds to Pro-

FEARS HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
Commission Meets With Ottawa At
torney to Discuss Twentieth
Street Ruins.

The antiquated brick shack on
Twentieth street near Fifth avenue,
which has been the subject of so much
discussion of late, is in such a deplor.
able condition that Street Commits
sioner Reynolds this morning express
ed his intention of fencing of the side
walk around the premises, in order
to bar pedestrians from the danger
zone. The building is crumbling with
age, and already great sections of the
wall have given way. Commissioner
Reynolds fears that should a good
strong wind arise on a stormy night
the shack would be demolished and
citizens who might happen by would
be in danger OF their lives.
MEETING HELD.
Attorney Horan Of Ottawa, repre-
senting the Taylor estate. which owns
the south section of the building, met
with the city commission this morn
ing and the matter was discussed at
length, Shortly before noon the con-
freres adjourned to view the ruins and

would be held this afternoon. Build
ing Inspector Stapp and City Engineer
Treichler are in favor of condemning
the entire structure, William Brasher
lives in the northern section Of the
building. He is 7S years of age and
should he be turned out Of doors, his
predicament would be sorry one. For
this reason the commissioners are
loath to condemn the entire building.
Attorney Horan favored the condemna-
ton OF both sections. There is only
wooden wall separating the deserted
portion from that Inhabited by the
Brashers and should the south end be
demolished, the Taylor estate would
be required to erect a brick retain
ing wall as Mr.. Brasher seems willing
to risk death by remaining in
his portion of the building. Sew
eral legal points are involved and
the matter may not be settled for
some time to come.
