meDt in the new shed on 9th street, and Mr.

sued in which it was asked what they would do do
when the stalls were torn down, and Mr.. Ord

sheds, but II they gave the company trouble
they could not expect any favors.

they would furnish the appraisement ask ed for
but would reserve the right that the award
would not be taken as evidence in Gaze OF srbi-
tratioD. They would, if they went to arbitra-
