The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Joe P Terry and attended by
Aldermen Ray. Reddeck, McMillan,
Wilson and Craine.
Mayor Terry slated that the ob
ject of the meeting was to discuss
and take action on the report of
Attorney Aubrey Harley of New
berry, appointed referee by Judge
Steve Griffith in the ase. The de
cision was in favor of the Brucij
Company who was issued a permit
to proceed with the building of the
barn and it wasMearned yesterday
that work on the pnvjeet has already
begun. In the referee hearing some
time ago, the City was represented
by Attorneys R. S. Owens of this city
and R. T. Wilson of Laurens. The
Greenville firm was represented by
Greenville attorneys. Attorney Ow
ens, at the called Council meeting,
explained the decision by which the
City lost the case in which property
owners of that section filed complaint
against the commercial project in
a residential, section.
The Referee’s order was presented
■at the meeting as follow; ~
“It is, therefore, concluded that the
plaintiffs are entitled to erect a live
stock barn on said property and to
carry on the business of dealing in,
handling and selling livestock and
that the plaintiffs are entitled to a
declaratory judgment so adjudging
their rights-and for a writ of man
damus requiring the defendant to
issue to the plaintiffs a permit for
the .building of such a building and
the carrying on of said business and
for an injunction restraining the de
fendants ami its officers and agents
from molesting or interfering with
the erection of said building or carry
ing on of said business.”
Alderman Ray offered a motion
that the Bruce company be issued a
permit to erect the building for the
carrying on of a livestock business.
The motion was seconded by Aider-
man Reddeck and passed by a divid
ed vote of 3 to 2. Aldermen Ray, Mc
Millan and Reddeck voted for the
motion, Aldermen Wilson and Craine
voted against it.
Several months ago the Bruce com
pany made application to city council
for a building permit for the live
stock barn. The company then served
papers for relief on the city with the
case carried to court by the plaintiffs
before Judge Steve Griffith. A ref
eree hearing was ordered by him be
fore Attorney Harley of Newberry,
whose deeision was rendered in fa
vor of the Bruce company.
