And establish a freight terminal enst of Michigan st.. the Ohkairo. Lake Shore and South Bend Railway Co., through its attorney, 1 J. IewJs Meyer, presented a petition to the common council at its meeting last night, asking that thee privileges be granted. The petition WH8 signed by John It. Haberle and 200 others and was referred to the committee o? the whole. In the petition and al.-o in a letter to the council, written by Atty. Meyer, the company says that the industries of the city need another freight line and that a refusal to grant the concession would be a hindrance to the development of the ity's merchantile and manufacturing growth. The petition says that the Interests of the few residents of Iasalle av. should be subservant to the growth of the city's Industrie. To Iluild Depot. The company says that it would establish a freight depot on the property now owned by it ju.st cast of the Insalle av. biidg" and also asks that Its franchise be modified 'o that freight In car load lots can be carried over it? line. Only small packages of freight and express can be carried over the line, according to the provisions of the present franchise. which also says that only cars such as are used iii passenger traffic can be run. A locomotive and a string of box cars have repeatedly been run in over the lines, especially at night, according to residents of the street, who appeared before the council several weeks ago and sought to have the company prohibited from this alleeed abuse of their contract. Vow C'h1cs I nt I"m need. Amendments to the plumbing and I wilding codes were introduced at the meeting but they were not read in detail the council deciding to de-f-r the reading of the manuscripts -hich are lengthy until the meeting of the committee of the whole. Kxperience has shown that in many c;;5cs, especially in the building of j.rivate garages, that the code now in use is too drastice and unnecessarily restricts the builder. In the new plumbing code the installation of conveniences in a liousc Is made cheaper. Other minor changes are also suggested. t The new building code the fee for hanging the classification of buildings has been reduced from $2 to r.ij cents, and the price of securing si permit for displaying a banner reduced in like proportion. The code will allow basemtnts to l e built under private garages and nlso a heating apparatus to be installed providing there is an unpierced firewall between the basement and the garage proper. Further, the new code allows combustible roofs to l'.e built'on public gar:kps outside the fire line and will allow- private garages to be built f inflamable material, providing iney are not within ten feet of other l'uildings. There are also slight modifications covering foundations under This Is the s ' -
