Iron Roofs.

Edttou Pilot: Town Board has fired another paper-wad. Some months ago an | ordinance was passed, prescrib ling a “fire limit.” There was | • nsiderably said about M. O. i Haloran building on his lot. The ; tire limit was for his especial 1 benefit.

I When Alfred Thompson wanted a wood house for his tenants in Libeiai Corner he built it. | When Ellis & Murry wanted to | hir'd they did it. WhenN. Warner & Sons wanted ! more sued room they built them. Wnen Chas. A. Roberts wanted j an office he put it up. John Haley did likewise. Now the Board wants people who erect woolen buildings to put iron roofs upon them. Has the Board no spine, or is it just pi ay i n g at governing Rensselaer ? Did any of the members, from the president down, ever take sides before they knew which j wav the wind was going to blow? jThe above query is for informaj tion. If any one wants to build do not pay any at'emion to ordinances; just build. H. H.
