| A number of petitions from citizens, ask
ing that certain work on the streets be done,
we're read and several persons VINO were
present were heard in reference 10 Work

special meeting at City hall, at one O'Clock
Friday afternoon to visit the several places
where the work Is asked for.
The Park avenue question was taken up
and discussed by J. Hay Brown, esq, repre-
senting Levi Sepsenig, ana John w. Ment-
zer representing himself 1t will be remem-
bered that on petition made to councils some
time ago councils ordered the street COM
missioner to grade and gutter Park avenue,
which in bad weather is almost impossible.
The street comm issioner began the work,
when he WAS restrained by Mr.. Sensenig,
who sued or threatened to sue the city for
damages If the work went on. On the other
hand NV. Mentzer threatened to sue the city
for maintaining nuisance II the work was
not done. The result was that the WORK was
stopped and Messrs. Seusenig aud Nentzsr
were requested to meet the committee in
consultation last night.
Mr.. Brown argued that 1t was unnecessary
TO incur the expense of making the repairs
on Park avenue, as said avenue was not on
the city plan of streets, and would be closed
as soon as North Ann street WAS opened,
which would be done in the near future.
Mr.. MentZer in his own behalf spoke Of the
horrible condition of the street ard the dam.
age that was thereby done to his private pro
perty and he argued further that Park ave-
been vacated, and was therefore part of the
city plan, and the extension of North Ann
street was not likely to happen for years.
The committee determined to defer action
until Friday afternoon at one o'clock on
which occasion Messrs. Sensenig aud Mentzsi
are invited to be present and endeavor tC
