SHOWDOWN WANTED IN
 NAPLES BUILDING ROW
(Continued From First Page)

three plumbing permit applications have been rejected. The building permit contains q typed notation making it's validity dependent upon the erection of q single family house. This notation has never be- fore appeared on a permit and it was placed on the Naples certificate because difficulties were anticipated even before work was started on the building, it is explained
 ID 10 today Mayor paoncssa has taken no hand in the atcrcations over this dwelling. despite the fact that they have been numerous and at times threatened 10 assume seri- ous proportions with hints of law suit.
 Discussing the case toIay, hc said.
 "Thc building permit calls for q single family house. There may be some difficulty there and there may be nothing. But, l want the case settled once and for all. so I have asked Chairman Nicts 10 call q spc- cial meeting of the commission and have the corporation counsel there. If there is a violation of the law, 1t will not be tolerated The building department gave permit for single family house and only single family house will be allowcd."
 The building department has been especially diIigcnt in it's inspections of this building. The house is visited daily and every new step taken is subjected to tho closest scrutiny before being allowed.
 Although the specific complaint of nciahbors is that tho permit is b"inG violated by the erection of q 'Wo-family house. ono building cX- pert who went through the place recently said it not only has the np- pcarance of tWo-family dwelling, but bears much indication Of one intended to hous" three families.
