| spectors, the city attorney and engineer
| and representatives of the city council

day to consider the matter of opening
North Second street through the state
| property at the rear of the prison yard.
| The city some time ago asked that the
state give up the right of way for the
| street extension, and at the interchange
of views yesterday there was but little
confliction of opinion in the matter, the
inspectors agreeing that by the pro-
posed concession the state would he
benefited in the end as much as would
| the city. The proposed extension would
| cut OFT small corner at the southwest
| angle of the yard where the high board
fence or wall is, and at the northerly
| part of the west line the wall would
| have to be taken out, neceSSitating dig
| ging back and the putting in of a good
retaining wall. The first decided move
toward the end sought will be the pas
| sage of legislative act authorizing the
