north was tabled by the City Council
at its meeting November 9. The pro-
posed location is across the street from
where A. G. Ochs Of Springfield re-
Gently secured a permit from the
Council to build garage.
II have no objection to this permit
if the Ochs garage goes up,p Otto

that the other building will not be con-
structed The same obhjection ap.
plies to both buildings. They are
too near the Lincoln school. If we
table this request, it may give us time
to prepare an ordinance limiting
garages near public buildings.
