Mrs. Charles Rumon, 16854 Rougeway Drive. "I live directly in back of the property and three weeks after we moved, the place was padlocked. Some other people bought it and something came up about it, and someone came around to have the people sign a petition for a beer garden. If there was no business there for one year, it reverts to residential. Mrs. Slapinskas did not have any business in there. The garage is next to my house, and I have never objected to the garage. It has given us some privacy, but I do think it was a spite garage." 205 42i,p The secretary obtained a record of the people present who objected to the petition and recorded the year they bought their property.
