Since the operation of the municipal

the necessary power to supply the clus-

way cancel it's contract with the Edison

period, and it may prove difficult to

with which they took out timber land
claims when they received their pat
ents to the land they all declared that
Wells sent them to man named Pritch-
ard, who took their deeds and gave them
$3.50 each. One of the witnesses Dean
West said that In addition to taking out
q claim himself, he induced several 9th
ers to do so.
The testimony of the witnesses exam
ined was almost identical in character
and became somewhat monotonous.
There was no cross-examinatjon. The
government attorneys announced that
today testimony was necessary in order
to lay a proper foundation for evidence
to come.
Senator Borah'5 name was not named

NEICHBORS OBJECT
TO BIG HAY SHED
PROTEST UNION ICE coMPANY's
APPLICATION
Same Corporation Objected a Year
Ago to Coal Firm Storing Fodder
on Nearby Lot on Ala
media Street

Application by the Union Ice company
to store hay at 660 Alameda street has
aroused protests from nearby property
owners.
The fire commissioners yesterday heard
from this source and shelved the ap-
plication for a week at least.
The company seeks to erect two-story
brick structure, but in the past when
the Black Diamond Coal Supply COM
pany sought to erect a hay shed there
the Union Ice company strongly pro-
tested, and it was turned down.
Owners of property in the block are

Warehouse company, inc, Carl Leonardt.
Union Ice company, Alexander Culver

NJ Warrinton and Elon G. Fay.

see how the board can grant such a per-
nit, as it refused w. Oder OF the Black

on our property, such permit less than
year ago and at that time the Union

'The Union Ice company people were
protestants in the case of Mr.. Oder of
the Black Diamond company, who wanted
to, run a hay yard opposite their barns,
and SO we cannot see why you should
give permit to them unless they agree
to build freproof barn to store their
hay" said Frank M. Warrinton.
Cites Inconsistency
1--WE respectfully protest against al
lowing the Union Ice company permit
to store such r. amount of hay In it's
barns, unless the barns are built of
absolute fireproof materials" said Alex
Culver, speaking for himself and others.
''The Union Ice company has asked for
a permit to build barn at $50 South
Alameda street, adjoining our property
on the south. for the purpose of storing
seventy-five tons of nay.
1--WE call attention to the fact that
Manager .Sullfinch of the Union Ice COM
pany, as we'll as ourselves. protested
against allowing Mr.. Oder to carry hay
on a lot adjoining the barn of the Union
Ice company, and your honorable body re-
fused TO grant Mr.. Oder such a privilege.
SO that under the circumstances we fail
to see how Mr.. Bullfinch can expect to
obtain such a permit"
