- Signatures of 38 residents in the
vicinity of the University power plant
'appeared on a petition protesting
against the burning of the coal pile.
The communication reads:
"The condition has existed for sev-
eral years and obnoxious gases are
unbearable. Requests to building and
grounds department have been un-
heeded or met with promises un-
filled."
The council was requested to take
action to alleviate the nuisance. The
petitioners also claimed that the Uni-
versity was ordering coal in such
quantities that proper care could not
.be taken of the fuel. Operation of
the crane throughout the evening and
on Sunday also was included in the
complaint.
It was suggested in the communi-
cation that water used in extinguish-
ing the flames was decreasing the
city supply. The water pressure in
'the area of the plant is low, residents
complained. The matter was re-
ferred to City Attorney R. O. Boni-
steel.
The People's Motor Coach Co. was
given permission to operate busses
on "tripper" service in the campus
area for accommodation of students.
