Report on Reynolds Property.
The special committee appointed to
interview w. G. Reynolds & Son on the
condition of their block on Main street
reported satisfactory interview with
the expression of probable improvement
in due time, The verbatim report of
the committee is as follows; I'VE met
Mr.. Reynolds on Saturday afternoon,
Dec ID, and explained to him the un-
satisfactory conditions of his block ON
North Main street, as reported by the
inspector of buildings, Mr.. Reynolds
assured us that he was well aware of
the conditions of his block, but doubted
the conclusions of the inspector as to
danger, having been advised by com
petent contractor and builder that
there was no danger of any part of the
building falling into the street. He
further stated that it was his purpose
to make such improvements as will
greatly benefit the city and the appear
ance of the street just as soon as il is
possible for him to do so. That he now
hopes to be able to begin operations in
the early spring That war time con-
ditions following soon after the fire
made it impossible for him TO do what
he would liked to have done to i'm
prove the site. That he will be pleased
to cooperate with the people of the
city and the city council in any reason
able plan that will be to the mutual
advantage of all"
