!__-G-TA-N___o_'S BOROUGH COUNCIL.
Served with notice to- either reduce the overhang of the roof of a dwelling «r remove the building, a harassed resident appealed to the Moimt Albert Borough Council last evening to assist him, out of a predicament. The building inspector reported that a house had been built in Parkstone Avenue with the eaves extended about 3£t inclusive of the spouting, which Brought it to within six inches of the boundary line. A brick house had been built upon the adjoining allotment, and the two roofs were very close together. The main walls were four feet from the boundary, and complied with the building; by-laws. The Mayor (Mr. L. E. Rhodes) expressed the opinion that it was a case in. which the by-low should be waived. Several of the councillors said that there waa a danger of creating a precedent. The council decided to waive the' bylaw- and not take further action.
