The matter of the removal of the uncompleted apartment house building located on the
North S Ft. of Lot 10 and the South 32.5 Ft. of Lot 9 Block 10 Tier 3, owned by Mrs. Rhoda
B.Ewing, and on the South 23 ft. of Lot 9 and the N. 17.5 ft. of Lot 9 Block 10 Tier. 3,
owned by Mrs. Elizabeth V.Long, was next brought up for further consideration.
City Attorney Wilson, upon being questioned, advised the Commission that the Charter
specifically gives the right of the City to condemn and order to be demolished and removed,
or to be put in a state of sound repair, any and all dilapidated, unsanitary and unsafe
buildings or structures, and to provide and enforce penalties for failure so to do; that
proper resolutions had been passed condemning this structure; that due notice had been served
on the owners thereof; and that he could see no reason why the City should not proceed with
the removal of this building, the time limit of sixty days stated in the resolutions condemn-
ing said building having expired and no steps being taken by the owners to demolish and re-
move it.
Thereupon, Commissioner Miller moved that in conformity with the provisions of Resoluti
No. 389 and 390, adopted by the City Commission on the 27th. day of January 1930, the City
proceed immediately to remove the uncompleted apartment house building located on the North
