By-Laws : Open Space at Hear ok Builiuno.— W. D. : As questions are continually ariaing upon the inter-pretation of clause No. 53 in our local by-laws with regardto air space, I should esteem it a favour if you would kindlygiva mo your opinion upon the following case. The houseshowu upon tho plan liaa boon newly erected, aud the occupier. wished to erect a shed X in tho position shown. Would this,in your opinion, contravene By-Law No. 53 I or, in other words,would line A B be produced to C and the 15 ft. measuredfrom this line, or should the 15 ft. be measured from E F ? In my opinion tho shed would contravene Bj-Law 53. That by-lawlirovides (ii) that the open 8i»cc shall extend laterally throughout thoentire width of tho building, and (6) that the distance across the openspace from every part of the building to tho boundary of premisesopposite or adjoining shall bo as prescribed (varying according to theheight of the building). It seems to me that the effect of tliosu two re-quirements is to preclude tho erection of anything (except a water-closet, ic.) upon the open space. It a building were erected upon it, itwould no longer bo an open space, and oven if the distance lo thoboundary wero measured from E F it could not bo said to bo thedistance across such open space.
