 During discussion of the law in NolVcd, Commissioner Davidson sug- gcstod continuance until the next meeting, awaiting possible compr0- mise, and it was so voted
 Holy Cross Parish Protest Heard
 Also for the purpose of awaiting a possible compromise. the board adjourned hearing of the applica- tion of the Holy Cross parish for a chang of zone to place properties in the locality of the cdifcc in a residential area.
 The petition was explained by At torney E. J. Monkiewicz as more than score of slgners sat in the spectators gallery. and it was op- posed by Judge William F. Mangan, counsel for Joseph Cantino who has already commenced excavation for business building, under con ditional permit issued by Inspector Rutherford
 Cantino held a permit some months ago, but did not proceed with his building, allowing the per. init 10 lapse. After the congrcga- ton asked for the zone change he made new application and was granted permit. providing that any change in zone would govern the type of building he was to erect.
 After much discussion as to the powers of the inspector 10 impose conditions upon permits Rutherford pointed out that every permit issued carries substantially the same pro- visions.

 The board did not favor changing from business to residence, the area lying on South Main street between Ash and Mill streets. and Mir. Kim ball advised the petitioner. Mrs. Katherine Skelly. that within a few years she will probably thank the commission for taking such a vote. Chairman Michael w Bannan of the police board was one of the opponents. His company holds a gasoline filling station license for a plot within the zone
