Preceding the flag-raising, a programme of speeches and music was carried out. Structural iron workers tightened nr. th la.t holts on the steel skeleton shortly after the work for the day had, .t.rt.d while this was under way. Fifth street, between Morrison . and Alder streets, rapidly filled with em ployes of the Meier & Frank Company and others. Presently Prasp's band i.ppeared and made the air resound with lively music.

The 2200 employes of the department store were assembled in the street with the 42 automobiles, wagons and trucks used in the deliv ery department hedged about the outer edire of the assemblage. Climbing onto the top of the arcade I which covers the sidewalk in front of' the building on Fifth street, junns Meier made a short address in which he said he considered it appropriate to hold such an event on Lincoln's birth day, lie introduced Tom Richardson, who delivered the address of the oc casion. Mr. Richardson, said it was appro priate to combine patriotism and de velopment. He complimented the Meier & Frank company for its enterprise and success. Flsss Are Slowly Rained. with the close of the programme 6t addresses, a huge whistle which had been attached to an engine in the new structure, was tooted and the workmen on all floors came to the edge of the building. The band struck up "The Htar-pangled Banner." the mass of ;.cople in. the street cheered and waved small flags and the silk flags slowly moved to the tops of the flag poles. With the ceremonies completed, the employes all retired to their various departments and started work for the day. The 400 workmen on the new building.went back to their labor. Dur ing the day all the employes and work men wore small American flags, which were distributed by the company.

CODE TIED UP TIGHTER ( Ol M IL UUl.DS I'RUPOSKU t H AXtiK AGAINST rltOPKRTY OWNERS. Amrnanirnts. Presented by Mr. Uirrk, i to Incrense trlng- Restriction Smt Anprowed by Members. Amendments, presented by Commis sioner Lieck. to the proposed new electrical code which if adopted would, it is contended, discriminate apainst property owners in faor of electrical contracting conerns, again delayed the passage of the code by the City Coun cil yesterday. They were recommended by Klectrical Inspector Punlap. As presented, the amendments would have prohibited any property ' owner from hiring an electrician to assist him in doing wiring on his own premises. The owner could do the work by himself, but if he sought any assistance it must be from a contractor, it is as serted. Klectrical Inspector Pujilap explained that the purpose of thi3 is to prevent property owners from being tt:eir own contractors. Members of the Council took a dif ferent stand on the subject. It was rontended that a property owner should be permitted to do his own wiring or have any relative doJhe wiring. Other members of th. Coun cil say the properly owner should be side to no still farther as lone as the provisions of the code regarding safety or installation of wiring are followed. The importance of these items should not be judged by the size of the SDace. Advertising is costly, and a small space only makes val ues better. to .50 JOSEPH CLOSSET AT REST Keeling Tribute Paid at Funeral of Pioneer Merchant. The body of the late Joseph Clos-et.
