To the Honorable Mayor and Council: We, M.M. Carraher and W.P. McElwain, the lessees of Lot Six in Block Two of A.A. Denny's Addition, petitioned your honorable body to grant us a permit to erect a frame building on said lot. We leased the lot before the fire ordinance was passed and leased it to build thereon a frame building. We are paying rent for the lot and there is but six dollars per month income from the same.
We cannot afford to build a brick in that locality as the returns would not justify us in so doing.
The building inspector after looking over the ground, issued a permit to us but owing to a misunderstand we did not call for the permit immediately and was afterward denied the permit. The lot is about the only unimproved one on the street between Yortec Avenue and Union Street, and there is no building of brick between the above streets.
We humbly ask you to give us some relief by granting us the permit.
P.S. The lot is near Union Street.
