they had had final conference with. Mr..
Warren, at which he had declined, to &C.
cept S. 600 and stated that he would con.
test to the legal end the proposed condem.
nation. He at the same time deprecated
the necessity OF expensive and annoy
ing litigation, to which the proposed com
demnation would subject all parties con-
cerned, and desiring TO avoid the same
had Concluded TO make final proposition

city the ground in question for S., 600, and
as further consideration in payment OF
said property will accept the product Of
ammoniacal liquor Of the gas works for the

property to the city about S, 800, which
includes profit to the city on the pro-
duct named, and is 500 less than any
price for the property previously named
