Nd JUNK YARD
PERMIT GIVEN
On Lehigh Valley Railroad
Property at Charles and
CortIandt Streets
COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
Hearing is Held Before Board
of Aldermen in Case of
Jacob Ruderman

There will be no junk yard on
what is known as the lumber field
of tn Lehigh Valley railroad at Cot
landt and Charles streets. due to the
fact that the aldermen last night
by unanimous vote refused to grant
the license requested by Jacob Ru-
derman for a junk yard at hat loca-
tion.
Many residents and properly
owners from Elizabeth street and
Hall avenue were present at the
hearing: They were represented by
Attorney Joseph Deegan. Mr.. Dee
gan requested hat the hearing be
rut over as some of the residents
did not know the exact location of
the yard or what it is to be used
for. 1t seemed that some of the
people use part of the property IN
question as a thoroughfare and they
were OF the opinion if this road WIS
closed it would interfere with the
development of that section.
Alderman John J. Clark then ex-
planned the situation declaring hat
the yard would be on the west side
of Charles street and run parallel
to the railroad tracks, extending
TO the east side of Cortlandt street,
He declared hat the yard would
not interfere with any thing below
Charles street.
Alderman Clark also pointed Out
that an eight foot fence would be
erected enclosing the yard and that
| the firm had agreed not to store
rags or bones. The junk will consist
of old iron. He held that Cortlandt
street would be the only street az
fected.
Former Senator Thomas Brown,
representing Mr.. Ruderman, stated
that the matter was a business
proposition and affects the city
| greatly and declared that in his
| opinion the firm has as much right
to use the property for a legitimate
business as a man opening a grocery
| store. He pointed out that the bust
ness would be that OF salvaging big
machinery and that the taxable valr
ue would run into $4,000 or SOU
| 900. He held that the yard would be
more in the nature of a big storage
place than anything else.
One of the property owners pres
ent declared that If the junk yard IS
| allowed to locate in that section the
property values will drop.
At this point Mr.. Deegan told of
the fires that have taken place in the
old Ruderman junk yard and that
practically all residents in that sec

granting of the license. He held that
the property will depreciate and that
the junk yard will De an eye sore
and a fire hazard. He also pointed
out that the insurance rates will adj
vance.
Mr.. Brown held that it is impos-
sible to burn up cast iron and that
no inflamable material could be stor-
ed in the ward.
At this point another citizen de-
clared that his property would be
ruined and that junk yards are
worse than the dumps.
Another citizen declared that the
noise from breaking iron when
struck with a 500 pound hammer
would destroy the peace of the
neighborhood. MI. Brown held hat
the noise of the railroad would be
] shut out, however.
: Following the general discussion,
the aldermen went into caucus af-
ter which it was unanimously voted
not to grant the license.
