nance provides that mo residence
whatsoever shall hereafter be erected
in the city Of Petersburg upon any lot
which abuts upon a public street eX~
cept that its front entrance shall face
one of the public streets Of the city.

deal of comment and opposition In
the city. and was discussed by both
oppo ,ents and Aldermen last night.

ton until the people opposing the
ordinance could be heard. It was stated
that the ordinance had never been be-
fore a proper committee, and that no
opportunity for a hearing had been
granted. The Board decided to con-
itinue tho matter until it's next meet
