HAVE TO DECIDE FIGHT ON OLD SHACKS Barbur Is to Get Decision by I Pressing Recommendations of ' City's Water Front Committee. . ..iforcement of the city water- . .lit committee's . recommendation for condemning and removing the remaining structure which ?have been declared subject to removal by that committee, but have not been officially condemned by the dock commission, promises somein terestlng litigation In the courts,, In the. opinion of Assistant City Attor ney L. E. Latourette, a member of that committee. Latourette'u interpretation of the city charter is that the dock commission only has the authority actually to condemn and remove these structures which come within the zone placed onder its control. While the general application of the sharter empowers the department 01 public works, in concurrence with the .City engineer and a four-fifths vote of the city council, to remove condemned buildinss, Latourette does not believe the removal of buildings within this .zone ire subject to general law. "The city charter gives this trio of au thorities power over all public improve ments," said Latourette, "but whether or not the courts would hold that the term 'improvement' could be applied in thB case on the ground that the re moval of a declared fire hazard Is neces larily an Improvement Is a question." Commissioner of Public Works Bar bur said he was not sure as to how the law would be interpreted, though he. in tended to find out by pressing the recdm tnendatlons of the waterfront commit tee to the point of action. - The following structures along the water front have been recommended for removal: ' ( ' Panama Cooperage docks, between Sal mon and Main streets; Pacific docks, outh side-front Salmon street, owned by Union Trust company of California, John Webb, agent; Taylor street dock, be tween Taylor and Salmon, W.
