the commission to ask approval of

tearing off the corrugated iron and
putting IN q cement front. me
commission denied the request on
the grounds that The city ordinance
did not permit the mailing of metal
Hath to wood uprights. 1t was sug-
gested by Commissioners Swope
and Hughes that this ordinance be
repealed if it prevented such i'm
proVements as this. Mr.. Bowdich
was called in and stated that the
only way the commission could
grant permission for this alteration
would be to repeal the ordinance
Mr.. Stamm in speaking to the COM
mission said that ii seemed almost
childish to talk about improving
Albuquerque, when a permit OF
this kind had TO be turned down
because of certain ordinance.
There is no use talking about I'M
proving the city if We are going TO
maintain these old dilapidated one
story buildings in their present
condition, and gentlemen, let me
saw that If you have an ordinance
that will prevent an Improvement
of this kind you would do we'll to
repeal it at once" continued Mr..
