Motion carried. A Mr. Burke asked permission to build on his lot on Quartz Street a building which exceeded the width allowed by ordinance, but it was thought best not to grant it, and it was so ordered on motion of Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman McNulty. R. D. Raines of 346 Grand Street filed a letter with the Council protesting very strongly against permitting to remain the four houses now being built on a 50 foot lot adjacent to his lot by L. G. Hersey, 350 Grand St. In his letter Mr. Raines said the presence of the dwellings is ridiculous and that his property is damaged by their closeness and general appearance and that he has no privacy in his own home. Considerable dis- cussion ensued in which the members of the Council indicated a sympathetic attitude toward the situation in which Mr. Raines was placed, but were unable to find any way to ameliorate the situation legally. Finally, on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Anderson, the City Manager and the City Attorney were instructed to take whatever legal steps were possible to change the situation or to remedy the difficulty, and thoroughly to prosecute any violation which might be found. The approved claims were ordered paid on motion of Councilman McNulty, seconded by Council- man Anderson. Adjournment. E DI City Clerk
