MORRISON AND BROWN
RAWHIDE CITY DADS

! erS on the subject rs to why
| Brown was first given the per
mission to erect two, one story
buildings, and later on ordered
the work stopped, the writer was
told, that. when Brown was first
given permission to go ahead it
vas on his promise that sufficient
and adequate plans would be pre-
sented to the commissioners, also.
they were not aware of the con-
fusion features of ordinance No.
g Sufficient and adequate plans
were not pres sented, we are told,
and it was further stated that at
the last meeting OF the Board
that Brown was informed that he
could not proceed with his build
ing until he would present salts
factory plans and specifications
Plans and specifications drawn by
c0mpptent draug htSmen of the
First National Bank and the Nor
llson building were presented and
accepted by the commissioners be-
fore work was started and they
claim that all they desire from
Brown is that he conforms with the
section of ordinance 175 cOntrOll-
ing the erection of buildings.
When Brown presents properly
drawn plans he may continue his
work, SO long as the city attorney
does not instruct them that Ordi-
nance No. S is in effect or can
be questioned.
They are of the opinion that if
Brown will not follow, and can
not be made to follow the laws
of the city that the ordinances
might as well be torn up and let
everybody hop to it, as they con
tend that he has violated different
ordinances with impunity.
Considerable more fuel was add.
ed to the flames when Brown had
the material for his buildings haul
ed on the street without getting
permission from the Board.
The contention is that if some
one should be injured by running
into the pile of material that the
city would be held liable without
recourse.
When City Attorney Clayton
left for the east he instructed Pat
Morrison TO attend to city affairs
during his absence

Monday morning meetings of
the city commissioners the past
several weeks have been vertible
storm cnnttrs The bone of con
trntio has BEEN the building or
dinance and the erecting of build
ings and placing building material
in the city streets without permit
from the commissioners and as
to whether ordinance No. 8 is still
IN effect or not.
Ordinance No. s was the ordi
nance passed at the time Kennedy
and BarthOld were to erect a hotel
on the site where the cement base
ment is. After putting in the
basement the promoters Of the
hotel project wanted bonns of
So 2.000 before they would 60 ahead
with the hotel building. When
the business men refused to fall
for the idea it will he recalled that
the promoters planned on erecting
three one story buildings. The
commissioners were prevailed upon
to passed an ordinance prohibiting
structures being erected on Main
street less than two stories in
height 1t was a popular move
at the time.
In January 1915, the commits
sioners compiled another ordin-
ance which is known as ordinance
175. The object of the new ordi-
nance was to embrace all of the
city ordinances under one head so
that the laws which controlled the
city would be in a compact form
and easily accessible.
In compiling the ordinances
every effort was made to repeal
every ordinance or part of
IN ordinance which would bv any
chance conflict with the new Ordi-
nance. The contention is made
by Pat Morrison that ordinance
No 8 was not properly repealed
aud the contention is so strong
that the city attorney is somewhat
of the same belief and is inclined
to think that the only wav the
question can be properly decided
is by test in court
If that ordinance is in effect
there will be only one way that
a one story building can be erected
and that will be bv the commits
sioners repeating the ordinance
However, jnst how the commits
sioners can repeal an ordinance
that they are lot certain is in
effect and just what effect the
of an ordinance thar
is already supposed to be repealed
and repeating it would have on
the legality of ordinance 175 is
too deep for this paper to even
attempt to solve.
