| re.erred section 81 of the building regulations,
locating livery stables, to the Engineer COM
missioner, and he TO the attorney for con-
| applicant tor stable had raised the question
| as to the restriction as worded in the reguia-
lions wished the matter settled by the proper
| lows: section II building regulations applies
! only to streets aud avenues by implication. A
! stable may be on the line OF an alley, but must
| be 80 feet from the building line of a street or
avenue and 30 feet from any dwelling fronting
| on street or avenue. The section does not
| protect dwellings fronting OH alleys only. As
| TO them the authorities must exercise discretion
do not understand that II party can compel a
permit against the Judgment OF the inspector of
| the government. SO held in the Frank Ward
