Question of Grocery Store

The request f or a change of
ioae permitting T. W. Campbell
to; open a grocery store In a
dwelling on North 34th street op
posite the .state hospital grounds.
ia scheduled to eomo up for a pos
sible final decision at tonight
meeting of the city council. This
was made a special order of busi
ness for tonight, in action taken
at lasT'week's adjourned meeting.
Mr. Campbell has had for some
time a petition with almost 100
per cent approval of the property
owners in that vicinity asking for
the change.
Zoning Commission
Opposes Change
The planning and sonlng com
mission recommended against, the
change, because it applied nly to
one lot instead of at .least half a.
block, which is the usual mini-'
mum Area, The recommendation
was alao made on the ground that
while, a grocery, in a." dwelling
would not ,be objectionable, - it
would make it possible for some
later tenant or owner to build a
garage or almost any business
structure there.
The council then asked the
commission to bring in an ordin
ance amending the sonlng law so
that limited use could be authoriz
ed, but the commission, which has
not been able to get a Quorum for
about tlx 'weeks,, had done nothing
about it at latest reports.
Widening: of Front Street ,v
