OBJECTS TO REGULATIONS.
Mr.. W. B. Turpin Explains Dilemml
and Asks for Relief.

Mr.. w. B. Turpin called on the Commits
sioners this morning and requested that
some action be taken by them relative to
the diflculties he has encountered through
the operations of the regulation regarding
the hauling Of dirt through the streets OF
lexington. Mr. Turpin has extensive I'M
provements on hand In that section of the
city. and a great deal Of excavation is nee
essary to properly construct his buildings.
1t Is necessary. he says, that the waste
dirt shall be hauled through the streets.
Objection has been made to this by some
of the residents of that section Of the city,
and Mr. Turpin thinks that some arrange
ment should be made to relieve him Of a
very embarrassing situation. He said that
the bids received by him on one building
alone were $500 in excess of what should
have been charged, because of the extra
trouble to which the contractors would be
put in disposing of the waste from the ex-
cavations.
The Commissioners are considering the
advisability of holding a public hearing on
the matter. 1t is probable that the hearing
will be set for some day next week, when
both sides can be heard at length.
