Attorney Peer stated that such action Would be i agreeable if the matter taoald be definitely decided ! at the next regular liieeting of the Council,August 5th. Professor Bretz urged that the ?matter before the Council be acted. upon so as not to hold out any false hopes to I.Ir. 1jiles along this line. He also urged that the Co«r:;iittee Who are 'to study the rezoning of the Heights be given ample time to do justice to such an important job. By Alde-rinan Lowe: seconded by Alderman layers: RESOLVED:that the Building; Zone brdinance be aimended, changing the block: bounded. by Highland 9ve.nia, TVtrck�off Avenue and He'i ghts Court from an "A" residence district to a "B" recic+ence district. en the Mayor asked if there vi�z�s any dis- oussi.on on tilis :notion, Professor Bretz presented and filed with the Clerk, a petition alleging over Of oveof ti,e ovrners of frontage within 300 feet of this:; Bloci: Wass. opposed to chL -1 ;c in Zone.

A general di scu:;si �n of the whole i)robleii ensued during which Alderilian Saii.ions irrated at the delay, urr;ed tLatthe whole ordinance be expunr�.,ec.i. Attorney Treman counseled that due consideration be given the matter and :hga.in strongly urged that the Council adopt his previous reco::i.iendation. Profes ,or Bretz explained the views of the people of the Heights and stated tivat they s ere quite i illing to co-operate in any general plan of -rezoni,ng,but were actually afraid and much op?)osed to sga.nting; special privileges contrary to the spirit of the ordinance and good late. Attorney Treinan again called attention to the fact that the Council could take no action at this time and that if the matter was referred to the Pla iuhing Cor.vii ssi on they :i might in the mean time be able to reach an agreement under Section 8 (a) as he suggested and then take whatever tirae might be necessary in making a, very careful -and i cov rehensive study With the property owners on the Heights, � of the rezoning of that territory.
