BUILDING WITHOUT PERMIT
4 CITY SERVICES WITHHELD Councillor M. F. Luckie referred at last night’s meeting of the City Council to the case of a man who applied for a building permit for the erection of one house behind another. When the committee visited the place they found the house in course of erection. When they pointed out that no permit had been granted, the man simply said lie was going on with the building, and was going to defy the council. All they could do under the circumstances was to see that services—water, drainage, etc.—were withheld, for were they to accept the position, the by-laws would lie set at naught. He would like it to go forth that any. one building without a permit stood the risk of being deprived of essential citv services. Councillor R Semple said that in reply to the invitation to inspect the building, he hoped that the committee would ignore it altogether. If they did not they might as well throw the bv-laws into’ the waste-paper basket. The building concerned was erected in Tully Street, Kilbirnie.
