WEDNESDAY, MARCH

LONING APPEAL RULING DELAYED BY PARK BOARD

Petition to Build Business Block Near Butler Is Considered.

The Park Board, last regularly constituted board of appeal for the action, put over until March 25 a decision on whether a commercial building at Rookwood Ave. and 49th St. may be constructed. The petition, which already has passed the Zoning Board, was brought by Mrs. Myrtle E. Hinesley. It requested permission to erect a drug store, a grocery, a beauty shop | and a cleaning and pressing shop. Jackiel W. Joseph, Park Board member, explained that the Board's interest in the matter, and its jurisdiction, was on the 49th St. side. Mrs. Hinesley said the property had been in the family for 102 years and that she had been unable to sell it or make any money from it since the Butler Fieldhouse was built. Service Claimed

She said that the proposed stores

would be of service to persons living in the neighborhood, and that they now have no trading center | within a mile and a quarter. There have been no residences erected in the immediate neighborhood in the last year, she said, in spite of the fact that in the pre- | cinct there were more comparatively | than at any other place in the City. | Mrs. Henry E. O'Hara, 4847 Hinesley Ave. told the Board that if the buildings were erected, their back doors would form the front porch view for residences along | Hinesley Ave, | “We built and rented along | there.” she said, “with the under- | standing that there would be no |

The State Conservation Department, which keeps an eve on the ducks hecause it wants to see what will happen, talked Andy last vear into being matchmaker between a muscovy drake and a black mallard hen. Now a muscovy drake hisses when it talks. It doesn't quack like other ducks—It just lisps and hobody much can understand it, not even other ducks. On the other hand a black mallard hen quacks and doesn't hiss. The muscovy drake is light in

color, FFHAND, Andy told the ConO servation Department that the two had nothing in common and could not reasonably be supposed to be in love, The Conservation Department insisted and during the winter the two were invited to all social affairs together and finally fell in love.

ROOSEVELTS APART ON WEDDING DATE

Butler Protests

Rex Dawson, former Indianapolis Indians pitcher, 4735 Sunset Ave, told the Board that he went to that neighborhood to build 10 years ago and at that time there was an understanding that it was to be residential property. The nearest commercial center, he said, was seven-tenths of a mile, and he predicted there was not enough potential business in the neighborhood to keep the storerooms rented. Emsley W. Johnson, member of the Butler University Board of Directors, speaking for the University, asked the Board not to grant the petition. “The only business,” he said, “that could possibly prosper would be a refreshment stand. Butler officials are of the opinion that business should not come in. Lots were sold with the understanding that business should not come in.
