SHEDS ON THE AVENUE
STAY UNTIL JANUARY
Respite" is Granted by
Council.

The line of wooden and metal sheds
and awnings on Cotton avenue, which
council several months ago ordered
pulled down, are given respite"
until January and after that date
their cases may possibly be appealed
to another tribunal. Some time ago
an order was issued to raze all sheds
on Cotton avenue from Lamar street
to Parker's warehouse, but for some
reason the matter has since been over
looked. Property owners on the ave-
nue. appeared before Council at the
recent meeting and secured tenn
porary stay of proceedings, thus keep
ing the sheds up through Christmas.
