Burgess Bartholomew was the only absentee at
the special meeting of the board Of burgesses
last evening. The first business was reading Of
the petition, signed by nearly every resident on
Colony street. asking for building line on Colo
ny street. Ex-Representattve Patrick Corcoran
appeared for the petitioners and stated that the
object OF the petition was to prevent Patrick Gal
lagner from putting his new building out en- the
edge Of the sidewalk. No Ips north Of the school
house has ever been established except BY the
agreement and custom OF the property owners,
who have heretofore erected their houses at q
suitable distance and In line with the other
houses. The residents along the line think that
the putting Of the building BY Gallagher will do
great injury to the other property owners along
the street. Gallagher has already two houses on
the street that were built on the line with
the other houses, but this new one Is
reaches to the edge Of the sidewalk. Only por-
ton OF the frame is now put up, and 1t Is pro-
to take action before the j. COM
| borough, was present and explained the stua-
ton from legal point Of view, with instructions
as to the action to be taken by the board. The
petition was accepted and placed on file. Burgess
Porter made a motion that the request of the

ony street from the schoolhouse to Parker street
| on the west side, and from Church to Christian
streets on the east side, and that no building or
| portion of building shall be built nearer the
sidewalk than the line prescribed. The motion
