RICHARD BROWN,
President,
p. F. WANsER,
Mayor,
Attest
I cannot believe that your Board was in
possession of an the facts in this case,
UzNpn V01l q rfo6 1lnnn the resolution now
before me-. When the ordinance already
quoted was passed by the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners and presented
TO me for action, l approved it upon the
representation that it conveyed to Mr..
Guterl no additional privileges to those
enjoyed by the former occupant or owner
of the building in question and that no
objection had been made to it by owners
of adjacent property. A few days later
some of these property owners entered
q vigorous protest before me against the
carrying out Of the work allowed by the
ordinance. Mr.. George H. Jones, at that
time Inspector of Buildings, was re-
queSted by me to refuse a permit fer the
work contemplated by the ordinance. The
Police Department were also directed to
prevent any attempt on the part of Mr..
Guterl or his agents to erect the storm
door extension until the provisions of the
ordinance had been fully complied with.
The attempt was made and stopped by
me ponce and court proceedings resulted:
Since the receipt of your resolution of
June 9th, I ave had a survey made of
the property. 1 send it you herewith for
our consideration in connection with
this communication. It shows. that the
wall of the main building on the Coles
street side projects min 90 inches over
the building line, that the show windows
IN the Newark avenue side project
eighteen Q8) inches over the line and
that the frame extension on the First
street side extends six Co feet six go
inches beyond the building line of that
street.
TO my mind It seems tina the owner
of this building is enjoying sufficient
privileges at the present time. Govern
ing bodies of a municipality should exer-
else the greatest care in the granting of
such extraordinary privileges. Sidewalks
are just as necessary a part of a thor
oughfare as the street Is and should be
as jealously protected against encroach-
1nents. / have repeatedly in person re-
quested the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners to reconsider their action
IN this matter. but without result. If
fhat were done the money deposited by
Mir Gutrel with that Board to cover the
cost Of advertising, etc, Gould be re-
turned TO him and NJ injustice done. I
cannot see 0 anyone can find grounds
upon which to excuse the granting of
the pernst contemplated In your reso-
iution and in the ordinance of the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners in
view of the facts already presented and
after examination of the sketch accom-
panytng this communication.
Respectfully submitted.
PETER +. WANSER,
Mayor.
