 They advise me the City Council points out the building has been condemned Certainly as of this date this is something that am not aware of. and up to the special Council meeting Of May 3, last. nothing appeared on the minutes of the previous Council meetings that the building has been condemned.
 They also advise that it is the instructions of the Council that new flat roof must be put on the building, and that a fire resistant wall be placed next to the Wheeler building. However. it is my under standing that Dr. Wheeler not only senovated the wall of his building, adjacent to my building, but also moved the wall of my building back some four inches and tied his oof into the roof of my building.
 This was done without any prior consent from me.
