wlien the Majestic Theatre company pe
titioned to be allowed to Build a wooden
v balcony in a projected moving picture
v Know house at the northeast corner of
' rark and Morrlaon streets. The petition
was: denied, but It waa only due to the
fact that the alte of the proposed thea
tre la within the Inner fire limits that
the board had any alternative bot tp
grant It.
Investigation of the code shows that
wooden balconies and other forma of
non-fire proof building construction for
' nickelodeons outside of the fire limits
re permitted.
"It Isqulte evident that the nickel
odeon regulations wll have to be sub-

Building Inspector Plummer today. "The

jna county court again won In th
action to force' It to award the contrac
for the west wing of the. courthouse to
the Thompson-Starrett company. The
decision was given this morning in the
circuit court by Judge Kavanaugh upon
the' petition for a writ of mandamus
compelling the county officials to award
the bid to thla company.
The writ was denied upon the around
that the circuit court had no cower to
oraer me county court to award any
contract to any particular company.
The petitioner had asked that the court
rorce tne county officials to Rive it to
the Thompson-Starrett company. Judge
Kuvanaugh held, however, that the
county court did not have unlimited au
thorlty In awarding bids, as It could
not reject bids, except for good and
valla reasons. It was the further onln
Ion of the. judge that the law required
mo eounty court to declare which was
the fewest responsible bidder, if there
oe any. The Judge said the circuit
court could po no further than to di
rect the county officials to execute their
best Judgment In awarding contracta,
oui u me circuit court should attempt
to direct to whom such contracts should
be awarded It would be "usurpation of
power.
Judge Kavanaugh said the law cov
ernlng the awarding of county contracts
was not iiko tna provisions under the
city charter by which the city awards
contracts, in mat the city can relect
any and all bids and not give their rea-
aons. rnelr Authority Is much broader.
Attorney George N. Davis brought (he
action m the name of C. M. Rynerson,
who represented a certain union ele
