Wexler of the bullding commission last night at a meeting, as a climax to the discus- sion on the application of John W. Hagearty for permission to bulld a public garage on High street next to the old National Spring Bed plant. Action on the application was post- poned, ‘ Commissioners John J, Walsh and R. B. Viets questioned whether or not that locality is a residential dis- trict. The chairman replied that if it were not a residential dis{rict there would have had to be no hear- ing. Commissioners Walsh and Viets spoke In favor of granting the application. They said that a local factory is endeavoring to purchase the property so that Mr. Hagearty cannot build his garage, but a gar- lage would be better than a factory storeyard. “What do we have hearings for if we are going to act over the heads Monday to Thursday to Give Him Chance to Change' Pleadings—His Health Much Improved.
