HE MAY USE HIS VETO
Mayor Gourley Thinks He Sees a
Somewhat Peculiar Job.
OPPOSED TO A STREET ORDINANCE.
Survey Committee Will Talk Over the
Marbury Street Entrance.
SOMEBODY WANTS TO GOBBLE LOTS

Mayor Gourley has been looking carefully
into the ordinance to vacate a portion OF
Marbury street, Fourteenth ward, which
was passed at the last meeting of Councils. The
Mayor has looked over the ground, and, from
the way he talks, it seems likely that he Will
veto the bill. He says that he can see no rea-
Son why Marbury street. the only thorough
fare that connects Oakland with the river,
should be vacated at its entrance Somebody:
he thinks, wants this strip of ground, 4OxIuo
feet now street. for building lots.
IF Marbury street is vacated" said he, there
is large tract of building property, yet unlm-
proved, that will not likely ever be worth much,
but which is now fairly valuable. Marbury
street could, with reasonable expense, be made
one of the best streets in that part Of the CITY,
and there is no truth in the statements made
by those who wish it vacated that 1t is not ana
cannot ever be good thoroughfare. THINK
as long as there is any property to be injured by
it a street should not be vacated because few
abutting property holders desire it. There are
number who object to this vacation"
Almost the same sentiments were expressed
by President Holiday and Councilmen Bigham
and Perry at a.meeting of the Committee on
Surveys yesterday. The committee had sew
eral ordinances contemplating the vacation OF
streets before 1t, among which was one Tor
vacating Junilla street from Center avenue TO
Elba street. E. s. Gardener and X. b. Petty
each own houses fronting on Center avenue
and Junilla street passes between their lots,
which are on steep hillside. Junllla street
has never been opened to travel, but when
Messrs. Petty and Gardener purchased, it was
with the understanding that there was 40-foot
street between them, and this strip was used
by each for spiral roadway TO their separate
home. Recently they have decided that the
street should be vacated, and that they should
have the 40 feet divided between them and 20
feet added to each of their properties. An ordi-
nance was presented to Councils where it was
referred to the committee which met yester-
day.
AFTER both sides had been heard the ordi-
nance was ordered to be reported with mega
tive recommendation, and TWO others OF the
same character, vacating Holden street from
Spachr street to College avenue. and Georgia
street from Spacbr street to Ligget's lane, were
postponed until the next meeting, to allow in
vestgation.

THREE MORE FIRMS SIGN
The Salesmen's Scale, but the Old Stores Are
Still Doing Business.

The Salesmen's Scale, but the Old Stores Are
Still Doing Business.
The statesmen yesterday added three other
stores to the list of houses recognizing their
assembly: Goldstein's, of Sixth street; Wag.
ner's OF Wood street and Fourth avenue, and
Caskey's, of Smithteld street. These stores,
with Bierman's and the Boston Clothing Com.
pany, have now agreed to the salesmen's scale
for the first time. Of the old stores, A. Can
non & Co. and Eisner q Phillips have alone
conceded the matter of hours and holidays.
The remaining six firms which have hitherto
accepted the terms laid down by the Salesmens
Assembly, have now cast loose from the union.
They have obtained sufficient men from outside
points to enable them To run their business. and
as far as the buying public is concerned the
strike is over, as the routine of the stores yes
terday proceed as usual
On the other hand, the labor organizations
have taken up the cause of the strikers, and
have promised them support. This means that
they will help the statesmen now out OF work,
financially, until they obtain employment In
another direction, and that they Will recon-
mend their members not to patronize those
stores which elected to dispense with organ
lied assistants.
