The decision to postpone ac tion on the alley wns taken after a resident w h o owns property abutting both ends of the alley said he was op posed to vacation by the city, Attorney Paul Haviland, representing E. W, Brown, who opposes the move, said that although the allcy'does not now have much use, It will have in the future when the value of the property as a business area should go up and the alley would be a val uable asset as a means of serv ing the property. Attorney George Rode, rep resenting those who favor va cation, said that five property owners whose property abuls the alley favor the vacation. He said the aliey has only a 5 Va foot wide entrance on Genessee St., making the use of the alley "physically im possible." ' The alley has only one en trance. It is L-shaped and dead-ends in the middle of the block. Rocommtndtd Approval The city planning commis sion had recommended to the council that the vacation be approved as the city has no interests in the alley. City Attorney Joel Recdcr said vacation of the alley would not require 100 per cent agreement of the adja cent property owners because action to vacate the alley was initiated by the city.
