There were three ladies present to oppose thzs a;lpl.ication. They
thought the company was applying for Light Industrial. They think it will
depreciate the value of their property. They have lived there for years
and years, and have spent a good part of their lives there. They were
told that the warehouse would be built down toward the railroad - not
north toward 5th Street, and the building will be small. One of the
ladies wanted to know which route the trucks would. take. She was told
they would cone in thr®ugh 7th Street and double back. The opponents
Q

replied they couldn't always do that. In rainy weather the part that
isn't paved is bad to travel over. Mr. Cockrill pointed out that the
cor.npany is located at 16th and Main, so the natural way to cone would
be to 7th.
Some discussion was had by the members whether or not the
granting of the application would affect the property owned by the
protestants. They agreed that since their homes are close to the
railroad it would not and the location is a likely place for a business
of this sort. Mr. Baldwin moved it be granted; seconded by Mir. Anderson.
