Commissioner Burdick did not believe tho statements in tho roport woro borne out Ly facts, which wora thut, it respeet of light nud ventila~ tion, tho Zimes building was suporior to tho White binlding L. Commissiouer Lonergan moved the previous estion. q“’l‘his motion oxcited great indignation among the membora sho desirad to discuss the subject, Commissfoner Clough snid it was the first timo such a thing had been attompted in the Board, It was evidently intonded to chioke off cuemion, e Chair rmled Commisstoner Clough ont of ordor ; a motion for the' previous question was not debatablo, Cowmmissioner Clough_npp ecaled from tho rul- Ing, but it way sustaivod by n voto of 0 to 4, “I'ho mnotion for the provivus question was then put ane’ carried, Commissioner Burdiclk could not ropress his indig umtion, and deelared that ho would not sub- mit to the oporation of such a rulo, Tho Chair stated that it wos his duty to en- forco the rule as it oxisted.

Commissioner Johnson argued the necossity of speedy action, Commissioner Tarrison thought the public would not be satisfied to have a £58,000 building- | oporation carrvied on by a committeo, Commissionor Clough_ rogardod this as a dane gerous experitent, aud it would iuevitably bring tho Committos into bad edor.
