The City Attorney submitted a report on the matter referred to him at the last regular meeting regarding the effect the erection of a brick veneer structure at 807 Brazos Street would have on the City's fire insurance key rate, stating that the State Fire Insurance Commissioner had advised that a change in the Fire Zone to permit this character of building at this location would probably not affect the City's key rate adversely, but that it would be inadvisable to do so, as the present fire zones were recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and approved by the State Fire Insurance Commission. Mr. G. 8. Moore, Building Inspector, was present and advised the Council of certain changes that could be made in the proposed structure which would eliminate the fire hazard and meet the requirements of the Fire Zone Ordinance. The matter was then referred to Mr. Moore to confer with the owner, Mrs. May 8. Cox. There being no further business, Councilman Gillis moved to recese, subject to call of the Mayor.
