Description

W.W. Montgomery requested permission temporarily to cover the roof of a warehouse, which he was constructing, with wooden pickets or shingles instead of slate, as he was unable to procure slate at a reasonable rate. The building would have a pitched roof so as to enable him to install a winch in the attic. Following the petition is an extract of the proceedings of the City Council meeting of 1813 March 27. The Council acceded to Montgomery's request on condition that he replace the pickets as soon as he could obtain slates.
