Junk yard case adjourned in Barrie court
Morris Alexander of 142 Bradford Street appeared in police court on Monday charged with keeping his premises in an unsanitary condition and operating a junk business without a license. The hearing on the first charge was adjourned for a week as Alexander agreed to clean up within that time, but the Board of Health is unlikely to grant a junk yard license on a residential street unless he relocates. Cowan protested singling out his client, noting other similar sites in Barrie. The case was adjourned for a week.
