HIST~e~IC I~ EST~RT.TSHED" SO AS Mr. Alfred Henneboehle, 10 S. Broadway, attorney for the Archdiocese (owner of Salo~x~ House), said t_hare have been extensive discussions between the Archdiocese and Historic Preservation C~L~dssic~ in trying to reach a com- promise satisfactory to all. The Archdiocese has no objection to the house being designated an historic landmark; however, it does object to the entire property being named an historic district. He said the bill seemed to have sc~e inconsistencies that should be resolved, and suggested ~ahling it and introducing a new bill after the q"ruups have decided hcw much property will be included as part of the landmark designation. MS. Mary Henderson Gass, 6304 Westminster, Historic Preservation Cun~l~ssion chair, said she felt the C~,u~ssion and the Archdiocese will be able to reach a mutually satisfactory c~,~.~se on the proposed designation. Ihe Mayor askM if another public hearing is necessary, and Mr. Ollendorff said only if the district boundaries were enlarged. Ma.
