MINORITY REPORT
We feel constrained to dissent from the report
| made by the majority of the committee will
| reference to the application of Mr.. @. II. Dor
| sett to remove a building from the front to the
rear OF the lot No. rs CASTOR ward ia the city OF
| Savannah.
The lot is more than 43 feet 9 inches front. ant
| there is nothing in section 523 Of Macponelli
| City Code or in any other ord nance of the city
| of Savannah, which prohibits or is Ia any way
| inconsistent with the granting Of the request
| The application is therefore an entirely Lawful
one.
AS we understand the majority Of the com.
| mittee, they report adversely because of a pro
| test filed by some citizens in the neighborhood
who charge that the building when removed
may be rented to immoral and disreputable PEG
| pie We cannot presume that the applicant has
| such purpose or will permit such use of his
| property. 1t seems to us IL would be a gross
injustice to any citizen of good standing to
make such presumption, and that 1t is neither
| legal nor fair 10 do 30.
| Should any premises in the city Of Savannah
| be used for immoral or lewd purposes the
remedy Of any citizen is ample and complete
under the charter Of the city OF Savannah, thai
remedy being to sbate the house as nuisance
| We cannot believe that The applicant would be q
party to a violation of the law Of the land and
we are entirely unwilling to make or counte
nance this charge, particularly in advance OF any
conduct which would give the charge excuse or
color, MERRITT w Dixon,
