A Permit to Rebuild the Garbage Fac
tory Cannot BE Refused.

The destruction of the garbage factory
morning has caused a return to
the old method of transporting garbage
down the river. and the Commissioners this
morning after a discussion of the affair
ordered ]. MaCry Dove TO clear the G street
wharf of all distractions SO to allow the
transportation Of garbage from that point
down the river. Manager Bayly of the
Company called upon the Commits
sioners this morning and made a formal
report of the destruction of the plant and
applied fo. permission to Use the G street
wharf as a depot for removing garbage
down the river. An inspection of the wharf
showed 1t to be occupied by j. Maury Dove
as a wood wharf and the harbor master
was directed to cause 1t to be Immediately
cleared. The Sanitary Company has en-
gagged several scows and the work of trans
portation will begin tomorrow.
In conversation with a reporter of The
Star this morning, Manager Bayly said he
could not estimate with any degree of GER
tainty the loss sustained by the company.
The plant had originally cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 ard was covered by an
insurance of about $4,000. There was to
be a meeting of the directors of the Sani-
tary Company in Baltimore on Tuesday
next, and he had no doubt that they would
authorize the rebuilding of the plant.
They Protest.
The South Washington Citizens Associa-
ton, however. will do all in its power to
prevent the rebuilding of the factory Last
night there was a meeting of the committee
having charge of this factory and IL was
unanimously decided to fight its recon-
struction to the bitter end. Lawyer FIem-
ming, who has represented the association
on several occasions before the Commits
sioners. was intrusted with the following
letter, which he delivered in person to the
Commissioners this NOR, ing:
The committee of ten uf the South Wash
ington Citizens Association enters its most
respectful protest against the rebuilding
OF the garbage factory at The foot of South
Capitol street; feeling confident however
that you will not entertain an application
for permission to rebuild such factory
we also enter our most solemn protest
against the shipment of garbage or dead
animals from the foot of South Capitol
street and trust that you will authorize
such shipment only at such point or points
where the same will not constitute a
nuisance affecting our section or any other
populated section"
Permit to BE Issued.
Shortly after this petition was presented
the Commissioners went into board meet
ing and took up as the principal business
of the session the subject of allowing the
Sanitary Company to rebuild its plant
1t was stated that Manager Bayly had said
earlier in the day that the machinery was
not hurt. and that IL the Commissioners
would authorize the rebuilding of the plant.
and the board OF directors of the Sanitary
Company was willing, the whole plant could
be restored within six weeks. The discus
sion was general. 1t was. however, decided
that the Commissioners did not have the
power to refuse permit for a building,
even though II were charged its occupancy
would be a nuisance. II the owners OF the
building conformed to the requirements as
laid down in the building regulations, the
permit would issue. If after IL had
been occupied, there existed a nuisance,
then action could be taken. The owners
of the building ran the risk of having the
building condemned as a nuisance after IL
was erected. but the Commissioners could
not anticipate that, and If application were
made for permit, the same would un-
doubtedly. issue
1t Is understood that the South Washing
ton Citizens Association will go into court
and ask for an injunction to prevent the
issuance OF the permit
