The filling station has bpen ron-ducted

Hultz and his mo«her. BtJhel. TTiey
acquired the property in 1946. The

Hilltzs.can replace the old ibullding
with new ones of modern ccHislruc-tian
*he zoning must be chaosed.
Frederick J. Siyuty, .their counsel.
In ipreisentlng the case offered to
'enter any stipulation with the vil­lage
to inswre 'that toe property
