laws whatever they apply to are not necessarily meant to be fol lowed to the letter they are guides to making a better town and some give- an take la necessary he said the mayor said he doesnt like to see a house even one inch out of line but in these days of mass production building it is bound to happen occas ionally and he has no alternative to considering each case on its own me nu mother to
