Mr.. Feoiger stated that the necessary instruc-
tions had been given to obtain a jury to condemn
the land proposed to be taken aud to award
damages therefor, and that, il no objections
were urged the instructions would not be revok.
ed but the jury would at once undertake itG
| duties.
| Mr. Fmegan said there was no need of discus,
sion at this stage of the proceeding Ho was
satisfied that the awards instead OF being only
| about slOO,000 as many supposed would reach
| S5OO, OOO and that to widen the street sixty feel
| would ruin one of the largest establishments il
the city. This action would kill the improve
ment, be said.
Mr.. Paynter regarded the action about TO bC
taken as experimental only. Let us trst try anC
ascertain whether we can widen the street sixty
feet and il we fail in this shall have tn,
forty feet proposition to fall back to.
