An unusually large delegation of property
owners waited on the committee to protest
against being assessed for the extension of
Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-hrst, TWEEN
ty-second and Twenty-third streets.
Behrend Joost, who is quite an extensive
property-owner in that district, favors the
nnh that IL Will NOT rpSf
more than $4,000 altogether while 1t viii
benefit the property many times that
sum.
George D. Shadburne, representing tho
protestantS, characterized the whole scheme
as cooked up by Joost and his friends to en-
nance their own property at the expense OF
their neighbOrs. JooSt alone owns ninety
seven acres west of Corbett road, and MIR.
Shadburne argued that if Joost and the
other large holders would only sell oil their
surplus property. the other owners would
improve al once.
Another hearing ON this matter will behad
in two weeks.
The Spring Valley Water Company. by
Herman SchusSer, its engineer, and Adolph
SutrO. again appeared and argued at length
the trouble in relation to the extension Of
Seventh avenue through the waste pond at
the intersection of l. and NJ streets. The
proposition submitted by Mr.. Schusser was
to have modified the grade of Seventh ave-
nue., south of X street. and in consideration
the water company will agree not to oppose
the extension of Seventh avenue, but will
give the right Of way over certain portions
of the property if the city will quitclaim to
the company their title, II any, to any land
within the cOmpaDy'S reservation for a
re-ervOir.
Mr.. SutrO would not agree 10 this PROPOSE
ton at all and the question was again laid
over for another hearing.
