Property Owners in Southern
Part of City Pass Resolu-
tions at Big Meeting
TO GET BOATS REMOVED
Petition Mayor, Aldermen
and Congressman ScuIly to
Aid Will Meet Prosecutor.

All possible means we're adopted
unanimously and enthusiastically to
hasten action for the abatement of
nuisances at the foot of Madison ave.
nue. and Brighton avenue at a meet
ing of the property owners and resi-
dents of the southern end of the city
held last night in Martins hall in
Madison avenue. Fifty residents of
the first ward attended the session
and every one signed resolutions
which will be presented to the Board
of Aldermen and Mayor Ferd Gar
retson, petltioning them to have
abated the nuisances caused by the
locating of abandoned hulks and
other debris at the foot of the streets
in the southern part of the city.
1t was also decided to further the
cause by conference with Prosecu->
tor George S. Silzer. A committee,
composed of Max Gibian, l.. M, Lam
ning,% Ferd Wetterberg and S. Levin
ston, Was appointed to wait on the
prosecutorSto solicit his aid in the
matter. A committee composed of
Theodore Johfison, A. H. Bran and
Max Gibian was named to communi-
cate with Congressman Scully, who
will be urged to opposs. the granting
by the government of efls. permit to
store any such debris az thM foot Of
the streets at the southernSNnd Of
the city as are causing the nuisSqces
at present. 1t is understood that She
Gregory Wrecking & ConstrGstlns'
Company have permit from the WEI
department to keep their wreckage
where 1t now rests until August l.
1t is the intention of those who at
tended the meeting last night to keep
this concern from procuring permis
sion after that date. 1t is believed
that with the aid of the aldermen,
Prosecutor Silzer and Congressman
Scully the wish of the people of the
first ward will not be ignored and
the proper improvements will be
made after August 1.
Max Gibian opened the meeting by
telling the purpose of the assem-
blage. James w. Henderson was
elected chairman and Mr.. Henderson
related the views of the residents in
regard to the matter of the nuisance.
He stated that the meeting had not
been called because Of any personal
grudge against John H. Gregory but
merely to abate nuisances that
should not be tolerated. F. S. Haney
was chosen secretary.
The following resolution intro
duced by Max Gibian was then unani-
mously adopted:

ers and citizens residing in the
