Oncé upon a time a laborer delegated to break the news to a wom- an that her husband had been killed by a blast. This particular laborer was chosen because it was believed he could break the news gently. And he did. He rapped on the door and when the woman opened it he asked: “Does the widow Maloney live here?” She replied: “Why, no, I'm not a widow."” “Yes you are,” said the laborer, “your husband was just blown to smithereens by some dynamite.” So here goes to break some news gently to Young America. You: boys and girls can’t do any roller skating on the permanent pavement or side- walks in any part of the city if an ordinance drawn up by the committee on ordinances last night is adopted at the next meeting of the council. The ordinance provides that if 'you are caught roller skating on the streets or sidewalk you may be arrested and fined not more than $5. McDonough Children’s Champion, Councilman Francis T. McDonough appeared in the role of champion for was meeting and said he didn’t see that the boys and girls were doing any harm to the sidewalks or streets. Dwight H. Parsons, an insurance man, led the fleht for the acceptance of the or- dirance and called the youngsters who skzte on the Broad street sidewalk “hoodlums.” He was quite peeved because they answered: him with “dirty talk” when he told them not to skate in front of property in which he is interested. Councilman Mueller believed roller skating was dying out anyway and he wasn't certain that any ordinance was needed. Mayor Quig- ley was in favor of the ordinance be- cause, he said, roller skates cut up the sidewalks and youngsters skating in the streets catch onto trolleys and automobiles. Councilman Ohman was in favor of the ordinance. Council- man Danberg said it was annoyjng to be forced to dodge and duck while walking along the sidewalks. L. W. Lee, representing the James T. Lee estate, favored the ordinance. Chair- man Stadler was neutral, as all good chairmen should be, Building Ordinances. Other ordinances which will be rec- ommended to the council will be in respect to buildings, as follows: Before proceeding with the erecticn, raising or lowering of any building en = J an unaccepted street a proper grade ! must be secured from the city engi- neer. All girders supporting the first tier of a floor in a wooden building shall ' be supported by brick or steel piers er column of sufficient strength. No wooden posts shall be used. The only exception to this is in the case ,trude Saunders, Vera Scharman, Eli- jnore Screen, done to.the satisfaction of the build- ing inspector. If foundation walls are of concrete ! with wooden frames on both sides they shall not be less than ten inches ' thick. If they are of concrete with | wooden frames on one side they shell not be less than fourteen inches and | at least eight inches thicker than the +valls next above. | If foundation walls extend to a depth of more than twelve feet below the grade level they shall be in- [ creased in thickness at least four in- | ches for each additional ten feet or part thereof. Every building hereafter erected within fire limits shall have an in- combustible roof covering and _any root requiring more than twentd-five per cent. repair shall be repaired with fireproof material. It was proposed to draw up an or- dinance creating tlie office of city chemist but this was deferred until a later meeting when the board of public works, the health commission and the board of water commissioners will be consulted.
