WON BY PLAINTIFF

Permit to the executor of the
estate of the late W. P. Metcalf to
repair the frame building at 118
South Third street will be granted
by the city following the announce
ment of District Judge r. r. Ryan
that the city commission is without
authority to refuse the permit
after a board of arbitration had
found that the building had not
deteriorated more than so per cent.
The city ordinance forbids re-
pairs to buildings in the inner fire
limits where deterioration is more
than so per cent. A. permit was
applied for several months ago to
repair the building and refused by
the city building inspector, Earl
Bowdich. The matter was taken
to the commission and under pro-
vision of the ordinance the question
of deterioration referred to a board
the building had not deteriorated
so per cent and the commission
refused to grant the permit. Ar
engagements were made for a suit
to determine whether or not the
city was bound to accept the re-
port of the board of arbitration. At.
the time City Attorney w. A. Kele-
her held the opinion that it was
not the report was not binding
upon the commission. .s.....
Proposed repairs to the building
include remodelling with metal
lath and plaster exterior and re-
of all rooms. The repairs
will cost $4,000 according to f. l..

The report is comprised of thir-

covers every city department that
relates even remotely to fire pro-
lection and offers thirty-nine rec
concentrations for reducing the fire
hazards.
A letter accompanying the report
states that with certain improve

to substantial reductions in fire in

assurance of a reduction following
specific improvements. one of the
improvements suggested in the re-

asserts that there is now available
only 100000 gallons of water

limited wen capacity and not to the
pumping equipment. In this con-
nection it is also stated that wooden
sheds at the pumping station and
some construction features at the
pumping station are not of the best
type.
Changes and extensions of the

the department is undetermined,

of two men for each company.
Within the next three years an ad-
