Dispute Over Dartmouth Street Alleyways Ends in Hearing
The board of health heard about seventy estates on Dartmouth street between Columbus avenue and Buckingham street regarding two rear alleyways. A single abutter, Mr. Nute of 235 Columbus avenue, blocks work by demanding 1000 damages to his estate for any plan to allow carting of house refuse through the Dartmouth street entrance. The health department cannot access the passage, a nuisance may persist, and plans to fill or alter the incline are disputed.
