The new owners acquired tin* tract a few Weeks IIKO, a lid Were proceed ing with plans for erection of. a warehouse on the uHsiimptlon thai I he old permit stood. They had mil gotten far. how ever. before the City .^Council noti fied them through "the Chief of Police that lin y must mil erect a warehouse on the properly. At their request, a hearing was held on the mailer before the City Council last night. The outcome was tin passage by the Council forbidding erection of a wan-homy of uny type in the urea hounded by South ttoad, Khringhaus, Dyer uml West Church street*, within which their tract is situated. Attorneys state thai the only course open to the produce com pany 1s to proeecd with the erec tion of the proposed warehouse until the city brings Injunction proceeding!* to halt the work. Then tin- mailt r could be fought out in die courts. Member* of the com pany today had nothing to say as to their probable course of action. The members of the produce firm are Klisha and Wiley Copper ? smith, Jarvis M.. Scott. K. It. Fer rell uud W. F. Jennings, all resi dents of the County. They had completed plans for erection of a produce warehouse on the proper ty, und had hoped to open for bus iness by January 1. They were '.represented at the hrarinK by <2eorgc J. Spcnce, local attorney. The only consideration accorded 1 he company by the Council was flic appointment of a committee to confer with the stockholders and assist them in any way possible In finding another location for their warehouse. In view of the fact thai they have already invested their money in the prohibited site, members of the firm appear little aiini eclat ive of this consideration. I Ju behalf of his clients. Mr. ftpvnee presented a petition to the Council at the opening of the iriedting. asking that they he per mitted to erect u warehouse on the west side of South Road street, nesr the Suffolk & Carolina llail roftd, to conduct n general pro dare business. The warehouse was to front 50 feet on the street nml to extend to a depth of IS9 fepj. Opponents of the warehouse proposul offered a petition of pro test- declared to bear the signa tures of fl7 residents of the vicin ity. J. K. Wilson, local attorney and County representative In the General Assembly, objected to the warehouse on the ground that It Would injure the First Method 1st Church prn|>crty, nt Road and Church streets. When the question came to bal lot before the Council, only K, M Marls, of the Fourth Ward, voted In favor of granting a permit for erection of the proposed ware house. Those defending the warehouse pro Jim i contended that fertiliser, its most objectionable commodity, would i>e handled there only dur ing about 30 days In the spring, and If It becMtne obnoxious to res idents of the vicinity, the company agreed to discontinue handling it there altogether. The company agreed also to build In rront of the warehouse atoug architectur al Hues that the city might prefer. In order that the structure might hot be an eyesore. Toward the close of the hearing. Wiley Coppers in Itli. one of the stockholders, asked If there whs any regulation against building houses on the property, lo lie oc cupied by colored tenants, lie Was Informed there was none, whereupon he dropped a hint that the owners might cut a street through their trscl and build a Colored settlement there. Another argument advanced by the proponents of the warehouse enterprise was that ths city was erecting a sewer pumping station only a bout 20 feet from the ware house tract, and that, they con tended, certainly should prove as objectionable as any sort of warehouse that might be bultt In [SQUALL PUTS OFF SEAPLANE CONTEST I,"""'!"'"; Baltimore.
