of the Board for the Condemna-

With an estimated 1000 to
5000 buildings still considered
sufficiently bad to warrant con-

Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, said
yesterday he felt emphasis should
be put on getting out the first
notices. He suggested that the
property owners in many in
tances might go. ahead and take
the required steps on first notice.
Gen. Lane said this at least
would put the property owner
on notice. even if the board had
to fall behind in it's reinspections
