MEETING OF Property HOLDERS FOR THE ExTEN
SION OF HOLIDAY STREET.-Ye Yesterday afternoon a
meeting of property holders, pursuant to advertise
ment, was held for the purpose of considering the
proprlety OF extending this street to Exchange
Place. Gen. O'DonnelI was called on to preside
The Committee appointed, under date of October g.
reported that they had an interview with the
Commissloners and learned that there was just and
sufficient time for each individual to make known
TO the Commissioners any grievances of which they
had to complain, which complaints the Commits
sloners were anxious to have laid before them so as
TO be able to make their corrections fully satisfac-
tory to all interested, if possible; therefore the
Committee resolved that they would recommend all
persons feeling themselves aggrieved by the present
assessment to make the same known to the Com
mlssloners IN writing, or before the 18th of this
month, recommending, also, more extended area
OF taxation, and greatly reduced amount of dam
ages and benefits
On motion, the report of the Committee was
adopted.
discussion took place as to the mode in which
these objections to the assessment should be lodged
with the Commissioners. Some were of the opin
ION that joint and general remonstrance would be
SUFFICIENT, as they were all opposed on the one
ground-too heavy taxation. 1t was urged again,
that this was neither an appropriate nor a legal
mode OF procedure, as many had specific reasons for
appealing, which reasons should only apply to
their individual case; besides the objections had all
to be made in writing, and oath. 1t was ulti-
mately agreed that each one having distinct rea
sons of his for setting aside the amount of as
sessment should appeal for himself, but where the
grievances of a number were of precisely the same
nature, there seemed to be no harm in making
joint remonstrance.
The amount which the property holders have
been assessed was described by some as unparalel-
ed in the history of the city, and many would have
oeen glad to sell OFF their property at the value put
upon it by the In point of enhancing the
value of the property so opened up, the CONTRARY
opinion seemed to prevail for they had assessed the
property more than it would be worth if the street
were opened; Before adjourning the Chairman
called particular attention to the propretv of those
intending to demonstrate doing so by the 18th, as
after that date no appeal would be received, aud it
would show the Commissioners the real state of
feeling on the subject. With this understanding
meet again.
