Manchester Bureau. 'rimes-D Dispatch,
No. 1902 Hull Street.

&
At the regular meeting Of the City
Assembly held last night the applica-
ton OF Gill Brothers for permission to
run a spur track from the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway to their yard at
Ninth and McDonough Streets, as re
commended by the Street Committee,
was granted by vote Of to 1, Mr..
Bradley being the only member who
opposed the proposition.
A resolution was introduced provid-
Ing for the appointment OF a confer
ence committee upon the Gill building
permit, which has been refused by the
Board. Nfessrs. a. A. Adkins, H. A.
Lindsay and r. L. Brown were APP
pointed On this committee.
1t is believed that this means the
Gill Brothers will win their fight,
which has been on now for two
months. The three members APP
pointed in the committee from the AS
sembly have always voted for the per-
nit and as the Board will be repre-
scented ny only two members it appears
certain That even if these are against
the proposition they will be outvoted..
The matter of granting the permit for
the spur track will come before the
Board of Aldermen at the meeting
Tuesday night.
