Mr. John Offermann, representing

ceased, asked if the Council had de-
termined on the style of pavement
that would be laid on Grand Avenue,

be the desire of the property owners
to lay one-course concrete, not re
inforced. Mr. Offerman offered no

but asked that the work be expedited
as much as possible, in order that the

dened and clogged with dirt. No one

Mr.. Baumgartner protested against
the erection Of filling station at the
intersection of Seventh. and East
North Avenues. Mr.. Eugune Nj.
Perry explained that the purchaser OF
the lot in question did not contemplate
erecting an ordinary filling station,
but a store where automobile access
series would be sold, and would pos
sibly erect gasoline pump for the
purpose of supplying gasoline to such
of his customers as might require Il
but that this feature would Re in the
nature of a secondary consideration,
the main purpose being to sell Access
series.
Mr.. Zarse and Mr.. Herman Siegert
also objected to the establishment of
a filing station or an accessory store
on the property in question, claiming
the location was too well adapted to
residential purposes to be used for
commercial functions.
The gentlemen We're informed by
the Chair that under existing ordi-
nances it was not within the power of
the Common Council to prohibit the
erection of a business building in the
vicinity under consideration, though it
might refrain from issuing a permit
for the rection of a gasoline pump in
the parkway or sidewalk portion of
the street. The Chair suggested that
they confer with the owner OF the
/ property and endeavor to persuade
him that it was for the best interests
of all concerned that no business
buildings be erected on East North
Avenue near Seventh Avenue.
Mr.. Charles B. Perry, representing
Captain Henry Leisk, addressed the
Council briefly on the subject of open
ing a street between Kenwood Avenue
and East Center Street, extending
from Second Avenue to Wauwatosa
Avenue, and called attention to the
fact that all of the north half OF said
street and the east 240 feet of the
south half had already been dedicated
to and accepted by the City of Wau-
watosa for pubic highway purposes.
Moreover, that the north half had
been plated and the plat had been
accepted by the County officials, and
