.KIRKHAM WILL PASS ON
 HIGH STREET BUILDING
Technicality Raised at Hearing Forces Delay on Permit for
 Mrs. Hagearty

Verbal and legal pyrotcchnics de- velopcd at the hearing before the building commission last night on the granting of a permit to Mrs. Minnie Hagearty to erect a one-story factory building at 49 High street, and the question was so left in doubt that the advice of the corporation counsel will be secured before any action is taken. Judge William F. Mangan appeared for Mrs. Hagearty while four property owners appeared as remonstrants, with Judge George w. 1<lett 10 represent the remainder. Judge Mangan. although admitting Judge Kletts right to appear ss at torney and present the case of the property owners, questioned his right to vote, as he had no written proXy. He therefore claimed that, instead of the required 75 per cent of property owners within 500 feet of the proposed building, only about ten per cent were present to remon- strate and that the commission was not required to reject the permit. The commission referred the ques- ton to Corporation Counsel John H. | kirkham.
 The zoning plan was attacked by Judge Mangan during the course of the hearing, as detrimental to the city and a hindrance to it's growth. If this city had adopted the zoning ordinance 20 years ago." he said we would not have population of more than 2N,00O today. In every city where zoning has been adoptetd it has retarded the growth of the city,"
 A hearing was also given in the
 case of Joseph Perrotta, who has ap
 piled for permission to erect {
 threc-tenement house at 169 Shuttl' Meadow avenue. A question aros
 as to whether this type of building
 was forbidden in this district by th proposed zoning plan, and, as tn
 zoning map was out of the city. th dispute could not be settled, Tn matter was laid over until the ma,
 could be consulted.

All seem to be agreed that in re- cent years Jack Rourke, track coach and trainer for the Colgate college athletes, was by far the fastest track man, but the old veterans of the game stoutly insist that there were men in the old days of 25 or more years ago who could outrun Rourke in 100 yards.
