      Seven-storey brick building with worn, white paint, missing balcony rails and windows. Affixed …
      Desk: Workmen are busy boarding up and taking safety precautions at that 'ghost building' on Bayview Extension we wrote about last week. All the balcony windows from top to bottom have been boarded for the first time anyone can remember. It is the result of our story. Why don't we send a photographer up and take some pics of this being done? Earl McRae
