but I'll do my duty. I wouldn't dis grace & neighborhood for one man." said Chairman I. Wexler of the building commission last night at a meeting, as climax to the discus- sion on the application of John W. Hagearty for permission to build a public garage on High street next to the old National Spring Bed plant. Action on the application was post poned. Commissioners John J. Walsh and R. B. Viets questioned whether or not that locality is a residential dis trict. The chairman replied that if 1t were not residential district there would have had to be no hear ing. Commissioners Walsh and Viets spoke in favor of granting the application. They said that local factory is endeavoring to purchase the property so that Mir. Hagearty cannot build his garage, but gar age would be better than a factory storeyard.

Hinchliffes absence was ques- tioned and it was asked If he was trying to evade the issue by staying away It was finally decided to post none decision until the full commit tee is present. r
