West of the parking lot a total distance from the AL of approximately 60 ft. to the next street. These apartment buildings like the AL front on Roosevelt Road facing south. To the rear of the AL and the apartment buildings is an alleyway that parallels Roosevelt Road along side.of which runs an aerial telephone cable feeding the buildings primarily facing south along Roosevelt Road.

The latter instrument is situated in the room occupied by GIANCARA, which measures approximately 14 X 16 ft. [ U | The only multiple of the number 306HC set within 1,000 ft. of the AL is situated in a terminal box mounted on the pole at the rear of 1135 Ferdinand Street. This pole is approximately 800 ft. distant, From an examination of the buildings in the area covered by the multiple appearance it would appear that the residence of 1135 Ferdinand Street is best suited for monitoring purposes.
