At S:15 last evening Warden Newton called the board of burgesses to erder, Burgesses Bartholomew and Biggins being the absentees. The meeting was special one. adjourned from Friday evening, which was called to take action on the proposed building line on Colony street. The property owners had been duly poti- fled to be present, and when the meeting was called to order there were present about thirty of the property own CTS on the street. Michael Downes was in favor of establishing building line and thought five feet from the sidewalk a proper limit. N. o. Callahan favored the idea and thought that 1t would be a bsnef. to the property owners. Thomas Pagnam favored the scheme, but would like the distance as few feet as possible, rather three feet than five feet. Patrick Brosnan favored about five feet. Timothy Callahan was of the same opinion. Frank Anthony, and Terrence o. Reilly were of the same mind The latter thought the petition for the building line should have been brought before the Gallagher building was started, and not wait until the frame WAS all up.
 Attorney 0. A. Harrison, acting for Miss Julia Beach, was opposed to the establish ment of the line. James Mooney was in favor of the line and thought five feet about the right distance. Cornelius OBrien favored fully eight feet as a limit Thomas Carroll was in favor of the plan. Patrick Concsnnon thought that line should be established back as far as on a line with majority of the houses already ca the street, but as the charter only pro. vides for 8 limit of ten feet he should be in favor of that distance.
 Patrick Gallagher, who owns the build ing that is being erected on the street so near to the line of sidewalk that caused the question of building line to be agitated, stated that he was doing nothing more than others in town had done in placing his building near the edge of the sidewalk, which he stated was two and one half feet from the walk, and that other buildings on the same street were nearer to the sidewalk than the one he was erecting, and that he had no desire to injurs his neighbors in the matter, and would favor building line and comply with the same ! providing he was rseompensed for the cost of removing the building now partially 1 completed. Mrs Margaret A. Galligan favored building line, and thought ten | feet proper distance. Warden Newton l asked every property owner who favored the line, if they would ask any damages l provided the line was established, and all stated that would not.
