Commissioners answered Frank W Hackett on erection of apartment houses stating each building will be evaluated separately for light and ventilation on its own lot. They advise not forcing well spaces opposite a neighboring owner but note it would benefit both sides. They clarified that a street facing apartment extending to an alley is not an alley house under the act of July 42, 1892 and that M street sewers have enough capacity. Once assessed for sewers, properties cannot be taxed again.
