PROPOSES SURVEY
 OF BUILDING LINES Councilman Murray Says Prop erty Owners Should Be Interested MEDICAL INSPECTION AGAIN

fcrred to Board of Healtl-Nacca Gets Contract for Burlington Ave Improvements at Council Meeting. Action toward the clearing up of q troublesome situation which has con fronted the city council from time to time in the matter of streets where no building lines have been estab- lishcd was taken last night at the city council session when Councilman James l.. Murray presented motion asking that the attention of all citi- zcns be called to the question of building lines on their respective streets. If this attention is given consideration, petitions to the council for the establishment of the necessary lines will follow and a menacing con- dition will be done away with.
 The application for extension of the old building of the Bristol Savings bank two feet toward the street to allow alterations in the structure gave the council a hard problem to solve. Because of the request. it was decided last night to call in the property owners from North Main to High streets for hearing on June g., when opinions will be aired.
 Consider Extension.
 Extension of the medical inspection of the public schools to the parochial schools is beyond the Jurisdiction of the board of education. according to an opinion rendered to the council by Corporation Counsel William N. Dero- sier. He informed the city board, however, that the board of health has power to handle the matter and recommended that the question be referred to that body. It was voted by the council to refer the matter to the health board and the corporation counsel to determine the expense of the work before definite decision is made to grant the extension. The matter was taken up when the paro- chial school officials asked. in the in- torests of the general health of the city, that tho schools be allowed the same supervision in this line as the public institutions. In view of the proximity of smallpox cases. the city officials thought the extension good plan and favor the granting Of the request.
