believes its use should be permit ted. MT. Wexler pointed out that the present ordinance will not permit the use of Class c materials on garage roofs, yet Section 176 of the building code permits their use on one and two family houses. This means that asphalt shingles can be used on one and two family houses but garages in the same yards are required to have Class A or B roofs He believes this con dition should be corrected. Mir. WeXler said the reference to five inch pitch should be changed to at least a seven inch pitch. MT. God dard said the pitch in his opinion is not for any commission or com mittee to specify. Workmanship and materials are the important features.
 This statement brought Mir. Wex- Ter to his feet with the declaration that there are men in New Britain fully competent to decide these problems and so-called experts from Hartford, Bristol and other places need not be brought here to tell New Britain what to do. The pitch of the roof is very important, he said, regardless of the opinion of the so-called experts. MT. North of the lilo Roofing Co. of Hartford said he believes it un- necessary to require the removal of old shingles when roofs are replac- cd.
 Building Inspector A. N. Ruther~ ford recommends that Section 201 of Article XXI of the building code be changed to permit the erection Of dwellings seven feet from the lot line instead of ten feet; to permit en- closed sun porches to be erected five feet from the line If they are not more than two stories high, and to require one family frame dwellings to be seven feet from the line in- stead of five feet. The committee approved these changes provided the corporation counsel is satisfied that they do not conflict with zoning reg ulations,

 Dr. O'Connell

The M. P. Leghorn property at the corner of Main and Commercial streets, was sold today to Dr. D. w. O'Connell for s110,o0o, slightly less than five times the amount paid for It in 1914.
 Today's transaction establishes a record for realty north of Commer- cial street the sale price being in excess of s4,00O per front foot. In 1914 Leghorn bought the land and building for $24,00O.
 Purchase of the plot gives pr. O'Connell control of realty for 50 feet north of the corner of Commer- cial street, he having acquired title in the adjoining block some time ago. Today's purchase extends S2 feet on Commercial street.

What Mack hopes to do in 1926 is
to reverse the standings of his team
and the Washington club in their re-
spective contests with the West. Last
season the Western teams won "a
games from Washington and 81 from
the Athletics. Cleveland was the
principal offender against the Ath-
leticS. winning II from them and only
four from Washington.
Washington Won the pennant by
eight and one half games. Had tleve-
land slammed Washington as il did
Philadelphia. and Philadelphia only as
hard as it did Washington. the pen
nant for 1925 might have gone to the
Quaker City. Mack is counting on
Cleveland TO do a little better against
Washington this year. But he also
is counting on providing a sitter oppo-
Sition himself for Cleveland and other
teams in the circuit. Hence his quest
for the new infielder.
