Plans protest against junk yard proposal in Amarillo
D. C. Dunlop and his son operate a wrecking yard at 500 Parker Street and vow to protest a new city ordinance licensing junk dealers. The measure requires annual licenses of 25 dollars for junk dealers and 5 dollars for junk wagon operators, plus 100 dollar bonds and mandatory detailed reports to police to curb petty theft. Dunlop argues the ordinance will drive junk yards from the city and burden the county with enforcement costs.
