The letter went on to state thai the framing would be of wood and the external walls of galvanised iron. The City Engineer reported that the site was within the city's inner or brick area, and that the application was, therefore, contrary to the by-laws, but as the building was to be pulled down as soon as the new university buildin™ was erected, it was for the Council to consider whether it would be in the best in terests of the city to grant the apolication oi- nof. Section 60 of the city bylaws provided for relaxing strict observance oi any provision under special circumstances, or modifying the same, provided that other ttrms that might he imposed were compiled with by the applicant.
