Mr. Murphy explained his letter to the Board stating that he had contacted
the owners of Ma Grundy's asking them to file for a permit, they did and
paid a double fee. Mr. Murphy stated that they had only changed the decor
of the restaurant, and no additional electrical service was provided.
Mr. Hamel questioned Mr. Opal regarding his complaint against Mr. Murphy.
Mrs. Henderson stated that the complaint is against a City Official who
in exercising his duty must use discretionary powers. In making his deci-
sion on this building permit, he felt one was not necessary as the changes
were cosmetic. Mrs. Henderson felt that this case should be dismissed
because this Board does not hear complaints against City Officials.
