Board of Appeals Consider Petition for Highland
 Avenue Station

The board of zoning appeals to- day had under consideration an ap- plication by Paul Salvatore for a zoning exemption to allow the build- ing of gasoline station at High land and Congress avenues. A hear 1 ing on the petition was held last night, with support and opposition being voiced. An exemption from the zoning ordinance is necessary because the site of the proposed station Is with in 200 feet of the B. w. Tinker public school. The zoning appeals board has the power to waive this restriction.
 More than 40 residents of the area supported the petition, while a petition signed by 48 persons was presented in opposition. Attorney Thomas McGrash, representing two nearby gasoline stations, was spokesman for the opponents of the exemption.
 After hearing arguments for and against the petition, the board called for a show of hands. More than 40 were in favor, and about eight signalled they were opposed.
 MT. Salvatore said that the prop erty is worthless unless he can build gas station there. Otherwise, he said he will probably lose the prop erty.
 Opponents clsimed that the sta- ton would create a traffic hazard.
