the cellar ranges from five feet ten
inches to six feet three inches, the
inspector said. Other variations noted
were that the plans call for 2x9 joists
and 2x8 were used. and 2x4 studs
were sometimes 2x3 studs were used.
Cianci claimed that the inspector
never warned him to deepen the cell
lar and explained that there was too
much solid rock there to make the
job practical.
The accused was found guilty and
fined SIS and costs, the court giving
notice that an additional penalty may
be imposed for each additional month
that the violation continues.
e. w. Adams, who figured in q
minor accident last evening at the
corner of Elm and Seymour streets,
