Petition of C. F. Smith The Blind Man to locate store.
We your Police Com recommend that the petition not be granted. The fact that Mr. Smith does not use the house referred to in connection with his business leads us to make this recommendation, aside from the fact that we feel that the streets of the city should not be cumbered with unsightly structures of the character of this one.
