He is doing rushing business and

TEAR DOWN WALLS
CALEX|C0 BLDG,
Quake Does More Damage at the
Border City Than Was at First
Thought and the Fire Walls of the
Masonic Temple Building Are to
Be Torn Down and Rebuilt.

Building Inspector Smith of Ca
lexico, after comforting with Archi-
itect Don Wells of this city, has or
dered the tearing down of the fire
walls of the Masonic Temple and
their reconstruction. The shakeup of
last Tuesday night was found to
have done more harm to the Temple
building than was thought at first.
The building inspector and the archi-
tect, after going over the building
very carefully Saturday, arrived at
the conclusion that it was menace
to pedestrians who might be passing,
in, case of another shakeup, who
would be in danger of shower of
bricks.
For this reason the building has
been roped off to keep passersby away
from possible danger until the fire
walls are reconstructed, and the up
per floor has been closed until re-
pairs are made. On the ground floor,
the city hall and the Chronicle Of
flee are allowed to operate as usual,
as it is said there is no danger on
that floor.
The building has not been con-
demned, as has been rumored about
town by people who have noticed the
roping off. E"'aMN y
