to hays a coach.house and stable with opening right out

Mr. E Butrritrr considered the plan must be amended
altogether ; • bakirhouse would be an offensive trade to
some people.
The ILA TOR said they had been very particular about
Mr. Tilley's plans, and had remitted one for consideration,
when • plan with • very superior elevation was submitted.
He suggested they should also remit Mr. Guy's. and •

Mr. Bourn added the munitions of the Mayor to his
proposition, and also thought no business premises should
