DELAY ACTION
ON ONE PERMIT
Building Question Bobs
Up in Application for
Class A Permit.
STRANGE TAX CASE

A new problem in regard to the
issuance of Glass A permits was pre-
scented to the city council Monday
evening in connection with the appli-
cation of John Gurchan for a permit
to operate a soft drink parlor at SAT
Margaret court. The police report on
the case outlined that there was no
recommendation regarding the per-
nit because of the fact that there had
been some question regarding the re-
modelling of the place.
Discussion revealed thet the owner
had secured q plumbing permit to
make certain changes, but had failed
to secure a building permit, thinking
it was not necessary. The building in
question is non-conforming use for
the district in which it is zoned, but
it is claimed that it has been formerly
used for this purpose. The building
inspector, however, stated that it was
his belief that the building in front
had formerly been used while at
present the permit is wanted for a
rear building on the lot. The coun-
Gil voted to refer the permit back
to the city manager for further
investigation.
A permit was issued to Joseph
Roszko to operate place at 1901
Prairie avenue.
Strange Tax Rebate. s
A request from the county for a
rebate of taxes amounting to $1,000
on property owned by c.. D. Hastings
and paid in 1921, was presented to the
council and allowed. It was shown
that the case had been lost some way
for several years; it had originally
risen out of a case of double assess
ment and the county four years ago
had rebated the sum. The city has
now voted to reimburse the county
for the amount.
A notice of appeal from the award
of the commission in the question of
the widening of Ashland court in the
case of the property of A. G. Sharpe
and wife was filed with the council.
The commission made an assessment
of $125 against this property.
Paving of Michigan street between
Selma avenue and Simmons boulevard
and of Charles street between Selma
avenue and Allenwood avenue, was
voted by the council upon the petit
ton of taxpayers.
Establish Sewer Fund.
"A resolution whereby "a special
sewer fund is to be established was
passed by the council. Under the
present ordinance the city in certain
districts win build both storm sewers
and sanitary sewers; it will be i'm
possible to build both of these at the
same time in some instances and the
present ordinance will permit that the
residue of the assessment be placed
in a trust fund to build the other
sewer at later date. In past years
this residue has been returned to the
city general fund. The change merely
means that the sewer funds will be
kept separate; it will make no change
in the assessments.
The ordinance for the redistricting
of the city into twelve wards was adj
vanced, being placed on passage. The
question of the division of the pro-
posed new wards into precincts will
be taken up at special meeting of the
council on next Tuesday evening.
The fees of the three commissioners
who established the benefits and dam
ages in connection with the widening
of Sheridan road were presented to
the council. The fees suggested are
$25 day or total Of $3.50 for each
commissioner. The city does not es-
tablish the fee, but it is set by the
court. For that reason no action was
taken by the council.
