George Thornton, 379 George Street. Years ago he erected some buildings in lower George Street, near Essex Street. At the time he was obliged to build to a line specified by the City Surveyor, even though he protested that the line was incorrect. Recently the Council has altered the curb to the correct line, and in doing so they have disfigured his property considerably. Also his neighbour Mr Wentworth is building a balcony which will shut in his balcony. He asks that the council pay for the restoration of his balcony to the same line as Mr Wentworth's, by paying a small cost to the same builder. There is a note by City Surveyor, Thomas H Bradridge that the cost would not exceed £6. There is a note that the work was ordered by the Mayor.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
