<br />southwest corner of Crawford and South Sts., and has s~arted clearing the ground to erect a
<br />UoS.O. Recreational building. This site is on ~he edge of the Fire District and is included
<br />within its limits and the building p~opcsed to be erected does not have masonry walls as re -
<br />quired by the Building Code°
<br /> I have discussed the matter with .Lieut. Col. Burgheim and he informs
<br />me~that if the O~ty inSist~'~On a.different type of building, the City will either have to pay
<br />the additional cost oP the appropriation will be withdrawn, as it is impossible te secure a
<br />larger appropriation.
<br /> After considering ~he location and the fact that so many buildings
<br />in the immediate localities have been demolished, I see no objection to the erection cf the
<br />proposed building and it is my belief that the City should take no action to endeavor to stop
<br />the erection of the building, as the property is in the name of the United ~tates Government."
