Council Blocks Adjustment Board
 On Change at Stanley-Allen Sts.
Kolodney Petition to Be Referred to Special Com mittee Johnson Passes Lie-Pistols Barred.

For the first time in several years, the lie was passed at the monthly meeting of the common council last light, but the incident did not cause any excitement. Councilman Samuel sablotsky, during the debate on the proposed change of zone affecting the kolodney lot at the corner of Allen and Stanley streets, recalled that Alderman J. Gustave Johnson few years ago was not willing to abide by the finding of the board of adjustment in the Hattie Peter son case, which brought Alderman Johnson to his feet with the decld- ration that he was at the seashore the night the vote was taken and that statement is a lie" Council man Sablotsky retorted that there was more than one meeting on the question and Alderman Johnson was present.
 kOIodncy Case Excepted
 The council voted to adopt the re- port of the board of adjustment on zone changes, with the exception tf the recommendation that the kolod- ney property be zoned for business "B." Councilman W. G. Gibney amended a motion 10 adopt the re- port. and succeeded in having the Kolodney matter referred to the mayor and a committee of council members for hearing. IL was Mayor Quigley's suggestion that this disposition be made of the matter, large number of property owners in the neighborhood presenting d re- monStrance against the proposed zone change. Rev. Matthew J. Traynor. pastor Of St. Marys church, was one of the remon- strants, the cemetery being across the street
 Aldermen Parker, Johnson and Falk favored the proposed change and landed the board of adjustment personnel as men Of high standing and capabilities. Councilman Con- lon said the property owners in the vicinity of the lot in question should have consideration and Alderman Maerz added that when the matter was discussed recently it was repre- scented that the property owners were in favor of changing the zone. As a matter of fact, he said, the op posite was true, and they should be given consideration before action was taken. Councilman Murphy also favored postponement.
