Attorneys for Those Againsi IV! n A. W. WhKaker Claim thit it Has Been, A Lengthy Meet ing Last Night ot the Alder- . men, Another MeetingTonight. . ' The Whitaker matter and the ques tion of permitting the location of a stock barn caused last night one of the most spirited meetings of the Board of Aldermen that has been held ' since the days when Aldermea loved the heaf of debate and made long speeches; The entire session last night, ex actly three hours, was devoted to the hearing of testimony from citizens in favor of and opposed to the permitting of the stock barns to be located inside the city limits. The petitioners against the stock barns were represented by Messrs. C. W. Tillett and T. C. Guthrie, and Mr. Whitaker's interest was represented by Judge Armistead Burwell and Mr. F. R. McNinch. All of the board were present except Aldermen Anderson. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and their adoption, the board went into the stock barn question. Alderman Faison suggested that on account of the large number of wit nesses, he thought it a good idea that the meeting adjourn to the Recorder's room down stairs. The Mayor stated that this could only be done upon the suggestion of the required number ot the Aldermen, and as the suggestion was not urged, the citizens who were waiting to be admitted were invited in to the regular meeting room of the board. The whole affair was conducted much like a court. Witnesses were introduced and examined and cross examined, every minute point being gone into thoroughly. j At times the testimony took on the ! humorous and the Mayor was compell Jed to rap for order. J Just before adjournment Alderman I Faison, as it were, threw a bomb into jthe camp by having the clerk read I from the first meeting in September, I in which Dr. Faison said that Mr. Whitaker and. Mr. McManus had ask 'ed for thfi nrivilese of building stock j barns in the city and had been refus ed by the board. Dr. Faison said that Mr. Whitaker had already been order ed not to build a barn and as he saw it Mr. Whitaker had gone ahead asakist the instructions of the board and built it anyhow. He did not think that anv sympathy was due the appli cant for stock yard privileges under tnese circumstances. Ad iournment being in order, this matter ecftrMbfidb bts discussed. " On motion of " Alderman ICirby the meeting adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening, "when the question will be tin ally disposed of. Mr. F. R. McNinch; read a petition in behalf of Mr. Whitaker signed by a number of prominent citizens, 110 in all. A second petition signed by tnose living near Mr. Whitaker's yards was read, it being in effect the same as the first petition, 49 in all. The attorneys for Mr. Whitaker in troduced Mr. H. G. Link, who was ex amined by Judge Burwell. Mr. Link said he had examined the premises and saw no objection to Whitaker's stock barn in any way, and that, it was not a nuisance in his opin ion; it is a necessary business, and the good of the ; city, would in no way be injured. Cross-examined by Mr. C. W. Tillett, Mr. Link said he didn't know how he would like to have the barn next door. "Do you object to having filthy con ditions about you?" "I do." "Why were you examining the yards this time?" "1 was down there on private busi ness. I had no interest in the matter whatever. I was down there about two months ago." Mr. S. A. Anderson, . examined by- Mr. Frank McNinch, said he lived just opposite the stock yard; premises of Wnitaker were kept nice and clean, l nave been living there a week. Cross-examined by Mr. Tillett, wit ness said he hadn't seen any cattle over there; he could not swear wheth er or not he had seen a cow; he had not paid any attention, to this. Mr. J. R. Winchester was aext ex amined; he said he had been a sani tary officer; lie had visited theyards about once a week; . had been i there when cattle was in the barns and found same in good condition; no com plaints had been made to him about the new barn; no disagreeable odors had been detected. " Cross-examinea, Mr. Winchester said a livery stable was located on each side of the barn; saw two cattle in there today; had seen a dozen or so in there probably before Christ mas: could not remember when cattle nad been kept there regularly; had rot seen a test of cattle being kept there regularly; didn't think it very iiealthy to keep hogs in town; witness had told , Whitaker to remedy former yards and Whitaker had tried to no so. but it was , difficult. , On , re-tlirect examination, .witness said that same rule would apply to liverv stables as to keeping down ties, etc. ; the . old yards were under roof, with open sides; wnemtne ran road attended to' draining their prop erty Whitaker's yards were improved The city is putting an immense amount of garbage into : tne old quarry near by. Asked by Judge Burwell which was most offensive to witness' nostrils, Black's stable or Whitaker's yards, he te said he was at the barn ' several months ago when a carload of horses were there; saw nothing objectionable there; hadn't seen anything bad there since; thought if kept in present con ticn the barn would be neat and nice. He had never seen but two cows there and could not say how it' would be with more cows; it would -De pos sible to keep the barn .dean witn suffi cient labor. Mr. Whitaker, the petitioner,, was then examined. He said he had begun business at his present stand in Feb ruary; he had expended $8,000; the cattle received were in lots of about 35 each. About 135 horses had been handled since February, besides" cows; no live hogs have ever been kept in the yards; witness personally con ducts business; hogs are kept in coun try; he had. not asked the city to per mit the keeping of hogs; the barn has been kept in good sanitary condition ; and not in better condition during last few weeks than heretofore. Witness had seen stock barns in Columbia, Charleston, Atlanta, Louis ville, Chicago, and other places, gen erally in the heart of the city ; no com plaint had been lodged against the old premises except one time when a drain was stopped on the .railroad's prop erty; witness had moved barn to new place on account of better facilities and also on account of exposed condi tion of old grounds; the refuse matter is carried out daily. . Judge Burwell, asked the witness what advantage it was to the com munity to have such a business in the city. Witness said it was to every man's advantage to have good meat; he haa been offered opportunities in other towns; he had the nest barn in the state as far as he knew; the barn furnished a market for. farmers until the introduction of cotton meal; with proper care the barn can be kept in good condition and not be offensive tc the neighbors ; witness did not, have any objection to the very strictest regulations the city could impose. He had been furnishing butchers with cat tie for eight or nine years, but native cattle had almost disappeared; on ac count of great difficulties in getting good cattle here, extra preparations and care are. needed. Mr. Tillett wanted to know if wit ness wanted a bam if it should prove hurtful to the health of the city, al though the meat furnished was im proved. Witness said he did not. Mr. Whitaker said he was not asking for special privileges; he could not say- how much care would be required by other people to keep barns in good condition if they should go into busi ness here When asked why a sanitary- officei had not been there when the cattle were there, witness could not saj why this was, but knew of one or twe ir.stances when the officer saw cattlt in the barn; witness never had cattle to break loose while being driver. through streets, because tliey were not tied together; cattle may have run m: peoples' yards when witness was not along. ' Examined by Mr. McNinch, Mr. Whitaker said cattle were easier tc keep than horse's; the railroads, ac cording' to' ''witness,' had 'pom'ise'd 7Mm a switch so that his cattle could be un loaded direct into the barn. ... Witness said he thought some ot his neighbors had ;';beeri! misinformed as to a barn and: a slaughter pen; he had the former, not the latter; dressea nogs are kept at the barn for delivery to butchers; witness sold about twe cows per day the year through. Mr. McNinch here read letters from Louisville, Ky., Augusta, Ga., and Co lumbia, S. C, stating that the stock yards were insidethe city limits anc were not objected to by the city or the citizens. Mr. T. C. Guthrie read a petition signed by a large number of citizens in the southern part of tne city asking that the ordinance be not repealed, but allowed to stand as it is Another petition " was read from members of the Catholic parish set ting forth that they thought the pres ence of the barn hurt the value ol their property and was a source of inconvenience to the children in school in O'Donoghue Hall, tnese likewise petitioning tiiat the ordinance stand. Mr. Guthrie also read a letter from Dr. H. M. Wilder, asking that a stock barn be not permitted- in the vicinity of Mercy General Hospital. The let ter also set forth Dr. Wilder's views: on stock barns as a source of disease. The letter was a strong appeal in far- or of the new ordinance. Mr. Guthrie read a letter addressed to .batnei Joseph, Stating that "" the stables on atonewall street had provehl'a consid erable annoyance. This letter was signed by the Sisters of Mercy. Father Joseph - enumerated tnt buildings on South Tryon and adjoin ing streets, belonging to the Cathode Church. As to several houses rented by the church, he said that one tenant said he would have to move unless the odors in the neighborhood were abated. A letter from Mr. C. McNeils, agent, declared that, he had been unable to rent these houses on account of tne surrounding conditions. A third house nas been practically unoccupied untu a week ago. Father Joseph said that unquestion ably thfl barn was objectionable to him as representing the interests m tne wav of property,' etc., which he had . .1 enumerated. He had always unuei- stobd cattle nens were objectionable Father Joseph said that Mr. wnit aker a.TiH Mr. McManus, had been warn ed, about .the building; wheik tne .nrsi hrir.k was laid. He said the nospnai would never have been placed where it is had it been known that the barn would have been erected , where it is. He had been told by the Sisters of Mercy that they had been frignten el badlv. more than one time, on ac count of the horses . Avhich sometimes become auite unmanageable.- . Asked by Mr. McNinch if there was not annoyance ana oaqr iroiu ruan-D; stable, he said "yes,!bnt tnougnt a stable a necessity" in "a city. ' Asked by Mr. McNinch if, relatively were worse than before the bain was erected," said ne. atner Joseph said he preferred the noises to tne caicie; noises attorueu oie greatest mcoiivemence omy uj getting oo&e or aumaiutseaftle. as iie tenement nouses on stonewaii .street, witness saiu one nad been" rtut- jo. ever since ne nan come nere; iu d! econu a tenant nati ueen put in gratis and tne tmrd iiad been pracu-, U vaiiy unoccupieu; .ue . naa liotuxu ... iO' witn tiie renting, novever, uuf uu- aerstoott tnat no objections' nau been J mauc uii ottuuui or lilt: uveijr BLituit; ur rocit quarry by prospective renters.

' Tne next witnesc, Mr. Saley, said hat he found tne stock bain objection able and dangerous to children; wit ness personally noticed bad odors; nad written to Father Josepn tnat ne could not stay in the house unless the ..-dors were abated. Cross-examined by Judge , Burwell, the witnesss said he wrote the letter jn April 5 of nis own free will ; nad smelled odors before that day. He Jeniea he nad written tne letter to be read at the hearing before the Alder jien. He did not take a notebook and make a note every time he smelled an cdor. As to the letter he did net nave co smell an odor in order to write a letter. Mr. C. Valaer testified that he diu not think it possible to keep the barn ;n good condition; that the lowing of the cows kept members of his family awake at nignt. ,, Cross-examined by Judge Burwell, Air. Valaer said he had five horses in e is barn behind his house. The.re luse was taken from the stalls every day and carried behind the stable. This pile of manure is about 130 feet irom Tryon street , witness did not oelieve a stock barn could be kept thoroughly clean; could not say on jath that he had ever detected any dor from the barn. . ' . Mr. W. H. Bruns, the next witness, said he considered tne stock barn a nuisance because of odors, cattle run aing up and down the street, etc riaid heretofore Mr. Whitaker had con ducted his yards badly. Witness made half a dozen complaints to Mr. Win chester without results. The city, physician was next notified and then, the present Mayor as chair man of the Police Commission; Mr. Bruns had not been annoyed by the present barn, but by the cattle coming from barn. t ;rf-l ' - " : : mmci t 1 ti WILL HAVE TO HURRY.
