The city zoning board yesterday approved the construction of a 10-foot-high chain-link fence around the Temple B'nai Shalom cemetery to keep out vandals.

Lead—A

     But the board denied the congregation's request for a barbed wire at the top of the fence because the cemetery, at 1282 Airport Road, is in a residential zone.

     "The fence is not worth anything to us without the barbed wire," William Gamm, a lawyer for the congregation, said last night.

     Mr. Gamm said that young people are using the cemetery as a shortcut to the GoldMart Shopping Center at 1300 Airport Road and that unless an impenetrable fence is erected graves will be desecrated.

     The temple made its request for the fence last month following the discovery by members of the congregation of several overturned grave markers.
