plained to the council that he had re-
fused permission to a number of per-
sons to build barn near other property
as it cOnflicted with the ordinance. He
told about the case of City Assessor
Bergman who had insisted on build
ing a barn in a blind alley only 90 feet
wide after he had served notice on him
not to do it, He said that he had told
Bergman that the minute he put a
horse in the barn he would begin
action against him. and that up to date
Bergman had not erected the build
ing. Glasford said he thought Emigh
should not be allowed to build the barn
but he had told him he might appeal
to the council. George Rolf. who owns
the adjoining property and means to
build shortly was present and protest
ed in person against the permission
being granted. The petition was
placed Oh file and the matter virtually
left with the building inspector for
settlement.
