that .the time has come for the en
forcement; of rigid! building re
strictions prohibiting , the con
struction j of ' down-town business
buildings of; only one story that
cannotl be added to and built
higher. ' The net result of the ohe
story buildings unduly scattering
the business section, at a heavy
cost to the whole city; because of
the extension ot seryice lines of all
kinds. Is held to be so serious as
to cal lor Immediate attention. An
other suggestion nia4e,was that of
establishing a distance for resi
dence j buildings from the curb
line, and prohibiting the 'hetero

tistlc medlay all the way from the
front street to the back alley.
