The City Council's Public Tlealfh Committee recommended last' , night: "That Messrs. Young and Tripe be informed, on behalf of the Colonial Carrying Co., that the council will bo prepared to allow Dip stable, No. 2<l Martin Street, to stand for 12 month?, provided that a proper undertaking is entered into that tho building will be demolished at the end of that period; and that in the meantime the building is kept in a proper sanitary condition.',' Several councillors thought: the proposal would not-adequately safeguard the health interests of a rather closelybuilt neighbourhood.
