 This action was taken at the sug- gestion Of Judge Bernard r.

Hennessey, representing the Senclair property. said the property is not desired as a residential section, although 1t has been for sale for some time.
 During the discussion Donald Gaffney, representing W. H. Cad well, said he had no objection to the zoning change, providing the present building line Is preserved. Charles F. Chase requested a post ponement so that he might discuss the situation with the church ves- trymen.
 Attorney Lawrence Golons repre- senting Peter Rakowski, asked for permission to erect five-family house with a store at 232 BHurritt street. He said the owner intended to have 1t in the front part of the tenement and that 1t would be taken in charge by the owners crippled daughter. The petition was rejected.

The story that he told was as tragic

Somehow I find this little man in

pathetic thing about him is that in all
