They stated that the house would be a credit to the area. THOSE OPPOSED: Wade Boardman appearing for Frances Hurst. He said she phoned him from Cambridge, England, this morning and requested him to " 'present her. He waid she hoped to build a nice home on her own lot.

Mrs. Brown mentioned that fire protection would be affected by close structures. Mr. Eisner asked if the basement was above ground.
