RUTHERFORD GIVES
lunch CART PERMIT
Building Inspector Acts on Ad-
vice Of Attorney N. II. Camp

Building Inspector Arthur N.
Rutherford will issue a conditional
permit to John H. Dillon whose ap-
plication for a permit to construct
an all-steel lunch cart at Franklin
Square and Pearl street has been
held up for a week because Of the
coming ordinance.
In issuing this permit, the build
ing inspector is acting on the ad-
vice given him in a ruling by AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Morti-
mer H. Camp who said that if the
city were to hold up the permit un-
til the board of adjustment had
definitely decided whether it was an
industrial or residential section it
might work hardship on the appli-
cant.
At present the corner is zoned as
an industrial district. Residents of
that section have protested in sew
eral ways to the lunch cart and at
the last meeting of the common
council a group of councilmen pre-
scented a petition to the board of ad-
justment which would change the
district to a residential section.
This would prevent the cart from
being built there if the board
passes on the matter.
The building inspector appealed
to the assistant corporation counsel
to give an opinion on what he
should do in the meantime and it
dwas Attorney Camps opinion that
the condition permit should be is
sued. In granting the permit, the
building inspector retains the right
was Attorney Camps opinion that
ment decides the corner is in Il
residential district. That is if there
Is no substantial work done.
