The City Council passed an ordinance at the
mect1nx On Friday night TO provide for the con-
deuuauon Of tho land aud opening Union street
from Twenty-sccond street to the river. This Is
to open the street through an irrcSnIar shipped
yurl under lease. Opening the Street will leave
the land Oh both sides useless for my purpose,
and will entitle the owner to heavy damages.
There is no bridge ut Union street. and the OPEN
ing Of tins piece Of street will not only involve
the city in Il heavy expense, bat be utterly use
less To the public. It looks very much like Il
espend money. The land ID bc l,ken will have

by any possibility be assessed tor benefits OK
cept the person whose land is taken, tho whole
cost Ut tile job will have to come out Of the city
