The special meeting was called for this purpose, in order that work may be started at once toward the construction of the new building, and no other matter was considered at the meeting. The session was called to order by President Rust, with all trustees present except Kroeger. The application was read by the clerk, and on motion of Gates seconded by Stock was granted.

It is in bearing ington navels and late ValenMr. O'Brien paid $25,000 for terty eighteen months ago and this purpose, in order that work may be started at once toward the construction of the new building, and no other matter was considered at the meeting. The session was called to order by President Rust, with all trustees present except Kroeger. The application was read by the clerk, and on motion of Gates seconded by Stock was granted. Trustee Fiscus expressed the opinion that a brick wall the entire length of the building on the side next the alley should be built, as the additional cost would be slight and it would add materiallly to the safety from fire as well as to the appearance. As the applicant was not present, however, to discuss this proposition, the vote was unanimous in favor of granting the permit. The building will have a frontage of thirty-five feet on Los Angeles street, and will be 100 feet in length, the rear sixty feet being of corrugated iron, while the front and side walls for the first forty feet will be of brick. At their regular meeting last week the trustees turned down an application from Mr. Kraemer for a permit to construct a corrugated iron building on this location, which is inside the limits prescribed by the fire ordinance, it being a settled poller of the board to grant no further permits for corrugated iron or frame buildings fronting on business streets inside the fire limits. Following that action and upon further consideration of the matter, Mr. Kraemer came to the conclusion that the trustees had taken the proper stand for the best interests of property owners and of the city, and his offer to place a brick building on the front of the lot, with the repair shop to be construcled of corrugated iron in the rear received the prompt approval of members of the board who were consulted, and who cheerfully complied with his request for prompt official action in order that the work may proceed without further delay. The cost of the improvement is estimated at $2000. The building will be occupied by the Beebe-Weisel company. Otto Zeus dropped into town from O'Brien has sold his forty-six bookshurst place to L. D.
