Exercise 28

Write an appropriate title for each of the introductory paragraphs that follow.
When my parents bought a new home in a small town outside Chicago, they decided to fence in our yard so that our two Labrador retrievers wouldn't wander off. The contractor they hired informed them that they would have to apply for a building permit, which would cost $150. After the shock wore off, my father went to town hall with the check, but the clerk informed him that he would have to submit a written request for the permit as well as a plot plan of our property. When he returned two hours later, the office was closed, and he had to return on Monday. After submitting everything, he learned that the town planning committee would not meet to consider our application for two months. When they did meet, they refused to grant our permit because the proposed fence crossed a "designated wetlands" area, and they refused to refund our $150.
