Report.

Com on Fire & Water on petition of Bryan & Graham asking permission to enclose tent with glass and iron.

To the Mayor & Common Council of the City of Seattle

Gentlemen

Your committee on Fire and Water to whom was referred a Petition of Edgar Bryan and R. J. Graham asking for permission to enclose their tent with glass and iron. Beg to report that in our opinion a general permission ought to be given to the sojourners in tents to put a roof of corrugated iron on their tents for protection during the approaching winter but we do not deem it prudent to extend this [priviledge] to the walls, as to allow this much, would, in effect be to sanction the Construction of a permanent building with all its vested rights. Citizens can and ought to be content with a good roof and submit to inconvenience for a little while longer for the sake of the general safety. Some general provision as to the constructure of these roofs might be adopted.

Respectfully submitted D. E. Duric Chairman F H Turchell
