was built four feet too close to the street the mortgage company did not want to finance the- house until the matter had gone to a committee of adjustment or until the bylaw was clarified the lawyer argued that going to the com- mittee of adjustment cost the town money and the client time and councillor eidred king felt this was not the appropriate way to deal with the matter we are taking over the duties of the committee of ad justments he said but he was overruled councillors bill mcnally and june button said a lenient ruling might be in order since the town building in spector had
