the Airship With His Knife


On complaint that he had slashed the
airship Bullet with a knife, Charles

CITY PUTS BAN

BERG & OXBY'S KILNS ARE
DECLARED A NUISANCE
MANY NEIGHBORS COMPLAIN
Owners of Property Near Cleveland
and Alpine Streets obtain
an Answer to Their
Petition
MANY NElGHBoRS COMPLAIN

After a contest extending over q
period of two years, owners of property
in the vicinity of the Berg &c Oxby
brickyards gained their point yesterday
when the city council declared that
companys holdings to be a public
nuisance and instructed the city attor-
ney to prepare an ordinance providing
for its abatement.
When the council began it's session
yesterday afternoon the chamber was
well filled with residents and owners
of property near Cleveland and Alpine
streets, where the yards are located.
There was an attempt made to delay
action in the matter, but after Council
man Harmon, in whose ward the nui-
sance is situated, said that the yards
had been detrimental to the residents
and property owners of the district, a
vote was taken, resulting in a bare
majority for the petitioners. Whether
or not Berg & Oxby will be able to
stop the final passage of the ordinance
is a question.
Public institutions Near BY
The Orphans home, the French hos
pital and the Childrens' hospital are all
situated within short distance of the
brickyards.
1t is claimed by the complainants,
who number over 1875, that the smoke
and SCOT arising from the kilns Is ex-
ceedingly noXious, that the blasting
both night and day makes peace Of
mind impossible and that the explo-
sions have damaged property in the
neighborhood.
Two years ago a petition similar to
that of yesterday was presented to the
council but no redress was given. Two
months ago another petition was pre-
sented, and the legislative committee
of the council promised to make an in
vestigation. No investigation has been
made and the men and women who
assembled in the council chamber yes
terday went there prepared for busi-
ness.
Attorney Robert Todd appeared for
the brick company and presented pc
tition bearing many signatures favor
able to Berg & Oxby, but it had little
weight against the charge made by the
complainants.
Occupies an Acre
The yard has been in existence for
eighteen years, the company originally
manufacturing only pressed bricks.
When the output was enlarged kilns
for red brick were added. The prop
erty consists of nearly an acre, in
which there is an excavation fifty feet
deep. The company employs fifteen
