United Press International SAN ANTONIO — The Ghee Kung Tong Masonic Lodge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. However, a prob lem has arisen since a wrecking firm without a permit tore the building down. “They just tore it down illegal ly,” Pat Osborne, city history pre servation officer, said Monday. “Not only did the people who tore it down do it illegally, they are not even licensed here as demolition contractors,” she said. Osborne said wrecking crews demolished the building early Sunday, before city officials could get the necessary court injunc tions to stop the wrecking ball. The structure, also known as the Chinese Free Masons Lodge, was built in 1918 by Chinese laborers who accompanied Gen. John J. Pershing into Mexico two years earlier. Police Sunday issued citations to Gonzales Lumber & Demoli tion Co. and its job-site represen tative, Albert VVechsler, for illegal demolition. The penalty for a con viction is a $200 fine. Osborne said the Gonzales firm has made application to become a licensed demolition service in the city, but “is sure the application will be turned down now. ” City Councilwoman Maria Ber- riozabal said she plans to start an investigation to find out why city ordinances could not prevent the demolition. “It’s a good tactic to kind of sneak up on people and do it on a Sunday, ” Barriozabal said. “It doesn’t speak well for a historic city, does it?” Although the structure has been used as an apartment build ing over the past few years, Osborne said it had not been occu pied for several months. “Somebody will probably put a parking lot in there,” she said. “Not only has the historic value been destroyed, but it takes the building off the tax rolls.” City officials said the Gonzales | company ignored warnings not to destroy the building. Oshome said the company had been warned several weeks ago when the firm made application to re place the building’s roof. ONLY CHRIST IS OUR LIFE May we ask God to give us grace that we may see Christ in all spiritual things. Day by day we are convinced that aside from Christ there is no way, nor truth, nor life. How easily we make things as way, truth and life. Or, we call hot atmosphere as life, we label clear thought as life. We consider strong emotion or outward conduct as life. In reality, though, these are not life. We ought to realize that only the Lord is life. Christ is our life. And it is the Lord who lives out this life in us. Let us ask Him to deliver us from the many external and fragmentary affairs that we may only touch Him. May we see the Lord in all things — way, truth, and life are all found in knowing Him. May we really meet the Son of God and let Him live in us. — Watchman Nee Come and Enjoy “THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST...” 6:00 p.m. Supper - Singing - Sharing This Saturday 696-8943 401 Dominik 775-5330 TIRED OF COOKING fi* WASHING DISHES?
