Van Laugh­ ton succeeded for the third time Monday night in postponing the granting of a building permit to contractor Arthur Whilsmith who wants to erect a $7,000 house beside his home on Edward St. This time the lawyer objected to 'the Whilsmith application be­ cause it did not include a com­ plete set of plans and specifica­ tions as required by the new building by-law recently passed by .town council. The contratcor submitted a rough sketch' of his proposed-basementless house but did not include detailed draw­ ings. Although council has passed other permits without complete plans, it agreed that the by-law called for them and refused the permit on those grounds. How­ ever, Jt did give a two-man com­ mittee power to pass the permit as soon as the plans were filed with the clerk. (Committee granted the permit Wednesday after Whilsmith sub­ mitted his plans to Clerk C. V. Pickard.) Began In January The permit row, Which began in January and resulted in a com­ plete revision of the 'building by­ law, was renewed Monday night at the tail end of an extra long session and discussion was pro­ longed until one o’clock. The lawyer told council again that the structure proposed by Whilsmith, a 24x46 basement­ less frame hou'se, violated agree­ ments' he made with the con­ tractor when he purchased his home. While these arrangements did not involve council, he said he needed plans, as required by the (by-law to take the matter to court. He requested, And received, permission to view the plans when submitted iby Whlsmith and to make copies of th em I in the clerk’s office. ■Committee (appointed to in­ spect the plans and grant the permit if they‘were in order in­ cluded Councillors Bill Musser and Ralph Bailey. Other permits were granted to Councillor Musser, for a house on Edward Street; Mayor Pooley for the removal of a barn on Ed­ ward Street; Fred Hatter, for completion of a sun porch; R. E.
