The contracting firm desired to purchase the property for the lo cation of their business. They in formed the zoning board that they planned to use the present lum ber storage building for equipment storage, erect a new office building on the Shaw ave. frontage, and lease the mill building on the Strathmore frontage. They ex plained that practically all mate rial handled is delivered to site A construction. Present were 27 neighborhoring property owners, the majority of whom opposed the move since it would entail the rezoning from “apartment and dwelling” to “in dustrial”. One objection was not what would happen under the con structing firm’s plans, but what use the property could be put to if and when the contracting firm should dispose of the property.
