DIscoNTINUINa OLD FRANKLIN STREET.
We have received letter from Mr.. w. S. Hill
lard, in relation to an article published in the
PRESS few days since, upon the petition pre-
sented by him to the City Council, praying for
the disseminating old Franklin street. He
thinks the article was uncalled for and unkind
and states that the late Mayor Jewett sent him
the survey of Mr. Marshall, City Engineer,
which stated that the old Franklin street would
be discontinued, which would leave him (IIil-
liard) with what he had on that sde sufficient
to compensate in part for land taken for the
new street. That he received ESQ much in
money and waited to have the agreement car
ried out in good faith" That two committees
have reported favorably, but some one who was
interested in the Sebastopol property opposed
it in the Council. All he wants, he SAYS, "is
for the City Council to give him the same con
liberation in the premises as if he was citizen
of Portland
NOW we certainly had no intention to do any
lnJ ustlce to Mr. billiard in the article to which
NC aiiuaes The new street was laid out in
iooo, ana the report Of the committee made
sept. 81 1859, states that 1884 feet of Hlliard's
land is taken, for which he was awarded the
sum of $500. Nothing is said in the renort
about disseminating old franklin street. For
two successive years on the petition of Mr.. HI
for disseminating that street, ''leave to with.
draw" was reported by the committee; and
when the committee subsequently report ID in
favor of its discontinuance, the City Council
| by very large majority refused to accent tb G
report. We were present during the debate
| upon the subject, and the ground urged was
that Mr.. FL. had been paid for his land taken
for the new street. There is where we obtain
| ed our information, whether it is correct or not
