GETS A TEMPORARY
PERMIT FOR COAL YARD
Objections to 1t by Citizens of Eek
ington-Recommendation by
Colonel Biddle

Engineer Commissioner Biddle has set
tied, for the time at least. the dispute
over the maintenance of the Thompson
coal yard in lexington
fhis matter was the subject Of a hear
ing before the Commissioners or July
Association appeared and made a vigor-
GUS fight against the operation of a coal
yard IN their suburb, and a proposed
amendment to the regulations affecting
permits FOR coal yards They declared
that such an establishment would prac-
tically ruin many OF their finest resi-
dences. They objected to Mr. Thomp-
sons business for the reason that II
would be nothing more nor less than a
''coal dump.
In an Endorsement to the Board of
Commissioners today Colonel Biddie de-
clared that the yard in question was not
intended to be a coal dump, and was.
according 10 the testimony. a conven-
fence to the majority of the residents of
lexington.
Regarding the proposed amendment
and Mr.. Thompson's permit, Commits
sioner Biddle said:
1s is requested by the railroad COM
pany and certain individuals. that the
regulations be modified so as not to ap-
ply to sites along the railroad.
Il am not prepared to recommend
this. The establishment of coal yards
and other similar businesses is oues-
ton too closely affecting other private
interests 10 warrant giving a general
permission for their location. On the
other hand. it Is manifestly poor policy
not TO allow a coal yard at this par

II. therefore. recommend a temporary
permit, revokable at the pleasure OF the
commissioners, be given R. Z. l..

FREE ICE FOR POOR DID
GOOD WORK LAST SUMNER
Sixty Thousand Pounds Given AWAY.
Of Great Help n Typhoid
Fever Cases.

One OF the most important works Of
the Board Of Charities this summer has
been the distribution of free ice to the
sick among the poor.
Commissioner Macfarland, who has
been chiefly instrumental in bringing
about the distribution, learns that 60Ool
pounds of ice have been distributed free
TO the sick poor and those having in
fants. and although this is as large an
amount as the whole of last season re-
quired, the continued hot weather may
call for thousa ands OF pounds more
The typhoid fever cases made a special
demand upon the funds this year. George
f, s. Wilson. secretary OF the Beard OF
Charities through whom the distribu-
ton has been made by the physicians u
the poor and the nurses OF the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurses Society. told NJ
Macfarland today that the free ice had
done more good and to a larger number
of people than in either OF the previous
years: that II undoubtedly had saved
many lives. besides giving much COM
fort, and was especially useful in the
typhoid fever cases.
