irIsh Capital to BE as Before
Destruction.
Mr.. Duke has published in the Par
liamentary Papers the amendments
which he proposes to make to the
Dublin Reconstruction Bill. Briefly
stated, the bill enables the corpora
ton to acquire by agreement or com.
pulsory service, houses for the purpose
of widening, enlarging or improving
streets in connection with the recon
struction of the areas destroyed or
damaged, says the Irish Independent.
1t empowers the corporation to make
bylaws with respect to the structure,
materials and general symmetry of
the new buildings for the purpose OF
securing amenity and convenience in
reconstruction. The amount of CON-
pensation to be awarded by the Gov
eminent will only enable the owners
to provide buildings similar to those
which had been destroyed. Conform.
ity to the demands of the corporation
may involve different style of build
ing at an increased cost, and the cor.
poration may advance to the owner
on the security of the building a sum
equal to the difference between the
compensation and the total sum certi-
fled as necessary to erect a building
in accordance with the style pre-
scribed by the municipal authority
Instead of the clause empowering the
corporation to make fresh by laws, of
wider scope than is authorized by any
existing statute. as to the new build
ings. it is proposed in the amendments
that the owner. in addition to deliver.
ing to the Town Clerk any plans and
sections of the proposed work as re-
quired by existing bylaws, shall at
the same time furnish to the city ar
chitect elevations on the same scale
as that of the plans and sections, and
shall also furnish any detailed draw
ings or other particulars which may
be required by the city architect. If
it appears to the latter that the char
acter of the proposed building would
be injurious to the amenity of the
street he may require reasonable
alterations" to be made as re-
spects the design line of frontage and
materials. Any dispute as to the rea-
| 0f ~
quirements shall be settled by arbitra-
ton and the expense which would
have to be incurred may be taken in
to account in considering the question
of reasonableness. This is the main
amendment; the others are either
consequential or concerned with the
arbitration procedure in reference to
the compulsory acquisition of land
While the corporation have got what
they wanted, the owners have not got
what they wanted and what the cor
poration agreed to give them. From
point of view of the owners the
agreement arrived at embodied, il
is understood, two provisions of vital
importance, the first being that the
valuation to which the buildings had
been subject before destruction should
not for definite time, say ten years,
be increased. The owners may be
required to erect buildings much more
