Frank asking ,for. a reclassification of Lot 7, BlockA Mulligan's Addition. This property is located on the north side of Broadway, from the alley east of High Street to the Mill race. As this is a major zoning change, a majority of the memoers of the Board of Appeals recommends that the request be denied. It was suggested that Councilman Stewart' might. have I something to say as he lived just across the street from this property. Mr. , Stewart stated that there were already three service stations in this block and he could not see the need of more. Mr. Frank was present and explained that he had an offer from the Standard Oil Company to put up a modern service station on the property where the old house thatwwas built in 18gB now stands. After some discussion it was decided to defer action on this request until the next council 17". meeting. Request was received from St. Mary's Catholic parish asking for a permit to extend the east side of their present gymnasium to house a section of bleacher seats, waiving the requirements of the building code as to masonry walls.

Hixson asking to, be given a ten foot set-bac from Eighteenth Avenue East on the west side of Mill Street. This is a fractional lot recently purchased from the city. A majority of the members of the Board of Appeals recommend that the ~equest be granted and the recommendation was unanimously 19'- approved. Request has come to the Board of Appeals from Everard Fish;. Roy V. Baldwin, and Lyle A. Burdick for special permits, but as these requests came in so late, 20 ~ they are being held over for later consideration.

Councilman Stewart reported that he and Councilman Barette had called at the Northwest Cities Gas Company plant and officials told them that a new building had been constructed within the last year to do away with fumes of the I~' gas. At times when weather and air conditions are at a certain stage there is some vapor from the smoke stack but nothing can be done to correct this. If we want gas we will have to put up with this condition. Councilmen Barette and Stewart suggested that part of the objectionable odors might come from the Water Board plant nearby where they burn oil and fumes might come from their 26' Chimney which is much shorter than the gas plant chimney.
