<br />man Eva, proposed that the Police Department notify the owner of the garage that he

<br />so near the street) or to appear before the Council to show cause for not doing so"
<br />(pertaining to complaint of John McCarthy, near corner of Madison and Clinton Streets).

<br />pletely within his rights in permitting the garage to stand where it is.
