Due 10 insufficient
Notice for Public

On grounds of insufficient pub
lished notice, the Board of Zoning
Adjustments today dismissed an
appeal involving proposed con-
struction of an 8-story apartment
building at the Southeast corner
of New Mexico and Cathedral ave-
nues NV.
The dismissal was on motion Of
Attorney William A. Roberts, rep
resenting the Wesley Heights
Community Club. an organization
including owners Of new homes in
the area involved. .s. -
Mr.. Roberts contended that the
required 10 days published notice
was not given for the appeal to
extend the apartment construc-
ton Is feet into a restricted area.
Due at Next Hearing.
The notice was published, he
said, in an afternoon paper of
February IL. This did not afford
a full 10 days notice before to-
days hearing.
Indications were that the appeal
would be taken up at the boards
next hearing after the technical
ity had been met. Attorney
James c. Wilkes appeared for
A. j. Howar, who is making the
appeal.
Joining in Mr.. Roberts motion
for dismissal was William Roy

Mr.. Atherholt told the board
that IS residents of Wesley Heights
attended the hearing.
Mr.. Roberts also contended that
the proposal did not represent an
incidental extension into a re-
stricted area, but would be a COM
plete modification of the use of a
strip 100 feet back from New
Mexico avenue reserved for indi-
vidual dwellings.
The conversion Of q 25-foot
strip of the area would make the
balance useless for the construc-
tion Of individual homes. he
