between two intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have
observed an average front yard line with a variation in depth of not more

inadequate to properly safeguard the health, safety, morals, peace and general
welfare of the inhabitants of the City creates an emergency for the immediate
preservation of the public which requires that this ordinance shall become
effective from and after the date of its passage, as provided by the Charter of �
the City, and it is accordingly so ordained.
