High Street Folks
 Fear Synagogue
 May Mar Section
Say Temple May Extend Out so
 as to Spoil Homes
Want Building Line Established to Protect Themselves - "How Old is Al DeLaney?"- Raft of Business at Council Meeting

Fearful that the contemplated syna- gogue in High street will project be- yond the residences already built on the south side of the street, Walter Suspicion and others appeared in favor of the establishment of an eight foot building line, and Attorney A. L.. De- Laney. representing the synagogue, in opposition, at the Common Council meeting last evening"
 Attorney Delaney occasioned a laugh when he told the committee that to his personal knowledge certain buildings in the street had been stand ing over the proposed line for at least 50 years. The youthful prosecuting attorney explained that the synagogue steps alone would extend over the pro- posed line. and he declared 1t would be unfair to the congregation to force the structure back so far that the steps would not reach over the pro- posed line. The proposition went over to the next meeting, when it was rep resented there were certain owners of property who had not been duly noti- fled.
 A raft of reports, resolutions, peti- tions and the like prolonged the meet ing until nearly midnight. Among the matters to occupy the Aldermen's time were:
