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
