Mr. Doxsee paid tribute to the
late- Senator George L. Thompson,
saying he had been of great as-elttance
in preventing the passage
of legislation detrimental to the

horns and had "some rights on
their sldeY'
The speaker blamed the present
condition of waterways in thfs vi-cinity

taking water from Long Island for
many years. When he came here,
Mr. Doxsee said the Bow of wafer

had gradually dwindled permitting
the collection of silt, necessitating

Half a dozen other home own-' siK?V in the development It has

meeting prepared to protest against
Hie board's granting Mr. Bald-win's
application. . Before M r.
Baldwin spoke they had listed
their names.
The applicant started to state
his case, and there was a pause
as the basic members stopped tne
proceedings to study the blue
prints prepared by the architect,.
In this interim, Mr. .Baldwin h? ti-ded
a set of the prints to the po-tential

questions.

friendly, 7i6*6yer, that .the* chair-man,

the group adjourn to the office cf
Superintendent of Buildings W. F.
DeMott, in an effort to adjust
matters.
This was done and in a short
time all returned smiling. One
and all asserted they had been
misinformed, that the proposed
building would be an Basset to tne
area and therefore all objections
were withdrawn. Then everyone
shook hands and the bo&rd went
through the formality of granting
Mr. Baldwin's application. The
variance was necessary because the
shape of the property would not
permit him to carry out the .plans
he bad drawn.
A similar variance was given;to
Harben Homes, Inc., for a one-family
dwelling and attached gar-age
to be erected on the northeast
