(To the Editor.) Sir, —Will you kindly allow •me spaco_ for a brief explanation .re.part of above referred to in sub-leader of Monday, sth, and turther dealt with in last night's "Mail" in a letter from his Wor ship the Mayor, who states that ''y c v do not rightly interpret the position." I. made application and wag, refused a permit to construct an outhoure on Mr Gibbai-d'6-property —the case referred to by von. The facts are simply as follows': At rear of Mr GibbardV proper ty in Bridge-street a small wooden shed is now standing. It \vae proposed 16 pull this down and erect, a new outhouse covered with galvanised iron in its place. The site being than 100 feet through Mf Bockmann's property from Trafalgar-street, the by-law states "that a building within the brink area must be of brick, stone, or concrete.' The Mayor states in his letter that """to provide against hardship.the .City ___Ettvr; r gincer was instructed to interpret tno by-law in & very liberal manner,' until' ( they liad been revised atfd> amended.": Can they claim that this has been done in" this instance? Thanking, you in antici : pation. I .am, etc.. . . JOHN SCOTT, 7.3.12. Buildpr. ;
