REVOKE PERMIT
FOR REPAIRING
CUYER BUILDING
City Commission Holds Structure
Is a Fire Hazard and Should Be
Torn Down.

An Official order stopping re-
pairs on the building owned by E
H. Guyer at the southwest corner
of Third avenue and Twentieth
street, was issued yesterday. Con-
demnaJion of the structure proba-
bly, will follow.
The city commission unanimous
ly adopted a resolution offered by
Commissioner Frank WITCH provid-
ing for the revocation of an old
permit authorizing the remodeling
The permit was issued April %,
1919. under the old city admins
tration.
Commissioner WITCH declared
that the two-story structure was a
fire hazard and could not really be
improved, despite whatever at
tempts should be made. He said
its value had deprecated so per
cent.
The only point on which the
commission was in doubt as to
their action was in the possible liza
hility of the city.
An opinion drawn up and pre-
scented by City Attorney John X.
Scott pointed out that the city
might be held accountable for rent
losses of the owner during the time
work has been carried on under the
old permit.
Commissioner WITCH said that if
the city were forced to pay a small
amount for rent losses, the amount
would be well spent in preventing
such a menace to the city as this
old structure.
Guyer Present
Mr.. Guyer was present at the
meeting with his attorney, c. E..
Dietz. He again maintained that
the building would be perfectly
safe by the time it might be fully
remodeled. However, the commits
sion saw no hope for the structure
ever being of any value to the
downtown district.
1t is expected that at another
meeting the commission will con-
denim the building and order it
torn down.

to republish the list of fire alarm

been working for the city in putting
the fire alarm system in order. The

Sid to be in efficient working or
