Mr. Clark of the Aristo Cleaners was present at the meeting and requested the privilege of putting up a new building in close proximity to their present plant to be used for the re -conditioning of their cleaning compound. Since there is a conflict between the Fire Marshal's regulations and our own Code as to the distance such a building should be from their main plant, this matter was referred to the Chief of the Fire Department and to the Building Commissioner for investigation and recommen- dation.
