VIOLATIONS OF LAW

Use of Bunkhouses as
Dwellings.

Over-ruling strenuous objection on
the part OF Councilman John r. Nc

defer action for one week on letter
from Ellis r. Preston, Building In
spcctor, calling attention TO two bunk
houses. built at Eighteenth and
Rroome streets during tho construc-
ton OF the Washington Memorial
Bridge, and which are now being used
as dwelling houses. in violation OF the
building laws.
The letter was presented by Council
man James u. McManus. According
To the letter. on April "a. 1920. a per-
NIT was issued TO the Walsh Con-
struction Co.. engaged in erecting the
Washington Memorial Bridge, to build
two bunk houses for use OF laborers.
The permit was granted with the pro-
vision that the houses be razed on
completion of the bridge.
Since the bridge was completed.
however. the houses were turned over
TO tho Board Of Park Commissioners.
according 10 Mr.. Preston's letter, and
are now being used for living pur-
poses.
Councilman McManus moved that
the letter be received and filed, and
action deferred one week. Objection
10 this move was voiced by Mr.. Nc
Nabb. who demanded TO know "Just
what the idea OF deferring action
was"
"Somebody." he said. "is flouung the
law right nicely. don't think Coun-
Gil should want 20 defer action for
one minute on such matter. II
isn't any wonder that some Of these
contractors don't obey the laws when
our own city departments fall down
Councilmen Mulvena and McManus
explained that deferring of action was
advisable because OF the desire for
cooperation between the various de-
partments. When the vote was called
