struction OF $780, Retreat

posal and 81 others, In which
variances from the zoning map
were sought.
The board ruled that the home
may be built in the residential
section providing plans for the
structure first are submitted for
approval. A trust fund was left
for the proposed home by Miss
Anna r. Shoemaker, who died
here in 1927.
Opposed by Residents.
Residents Of the section had
opposed the request when 1t came
before the Zoning Commission
early this month. Previously, the
zoning board had failed to act,
on the ground 1t had no jurisdic-
ton. The Zoning Commission,
thereupon. cleared the way this
month for the zoning board to act.
