(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
A public denial of the report that the ancient Jewish cemetery would be destroyed with the going into effect of the new city planning regulations was made by the City Planning Commission today.
The recent report that the cemetery would be destroyed in the city rebuilding work was due to the omission in the official statement enumerating the places to be preserved, among them the Jewish cemetery, which will be protected as a public monument.
