The consensus among the board members following the hearing secemed to be that the agitation for a reduction of the bullding line was nearly all the work of one property owner. After a lengthy discussion it was voted to give the petitioner leave to with- draw. A number of requests were received from garage men who desired the right to have two or more driveways inte their property. Chairman Conlon was emphatic in stating his position in regard to granting these privileges. While it is the right of every man to have one entrance to his property Mr. Conlon eaid, he did not think it advisable to grant the privi- lege of cutting the sidewalks up and of having driveways running through the streets without a close inspection of the property where the driveway is to be located. A petition was received asking for repairs to be made to Commonwealth avenue. The board voted to have the work done as soon as possible.
