or any plans. He was informed that they did receive a footing permit

stated that they had not submitted a plan to him as of this date.

engineer work on this plan sooner. Mr. Hexum stated that no engineeri
plan was asked for. Alderman Strain told Mr. Hexum that at the first
hearing neighbors were present and were concerned about the water.
President Postier stated that Mr. Hexum stated that he would take
care of the water problem and so far he has not. He stated that
from what Mr. Plumb stcAted the things which were asked of them to
provide were not provided. Mr. Hexum stated that he<=has done every-
thing that the code calls for. Mr. Hexum stated that he will take
care of the water at his junction but still maintains that the city,
