Afternoon 6ebsIOns
On reassembling at pm. the council
took up the special order of the day.
WEST BOUNDARY STREET.
This was the ordinance OF intention
of opening West Boundary street, from
Jefferson street to Alvarado. There were
several protests against the proposition,
as follows:
Carl Reisss and j. B. Brown, repre-
senting 750 feet, on the ground that
there are no business needs for such a
street; that the claims for such street
are based upon fanciful desires for q
driveway, and that the manner of inter-
section of the connecting streets is such
that the property owners, to be assessed
therein, cannot derive any benefit from
the proposed opening.
From j. r. Umsted, F. B. Habbert
and M. H. Shelton, on the ground that
general convenience does not demand
any such outlet. They say that the
benefits to be gained do not equal the
expense to be entailed in opening and
grading such street.
Also from Thomas Lloyd and Peter
Norman, on the ground that the pro-
posed street will greatly damage lot No.
21, in block N, and render lot No. %
wholly worthless. They ask that the
proceedings be abandoned. Mr.. G. FL.
Toll spoke upon the matter, and asked
it's indefinite postponement.
Mr. Rhodes moved to refer back to
the board of public works.
Mr.. Tufts eaid the matter involved
remonstrance from FIVE sixths of the
property holders along the line of the
proposed street, and he therefore moved
an indefinite posponemeng. He said it
was a proposition to build boulevard,
a driveway for the rich, and ask poor
people to pay for it. The proposition
WAS withdrawn.
FAILED TO COME TO TIME.
The following communication was re-
ceived4y the city treasurer:

mand on me for return OF the $4,000

the failure of Hays & Sons to coneumate

attorney.
THE CANNERY FRANCHISE SCHEME.
Mr.. Nickel presented petition for
amendment of the lease Of land to GER
tain parties for cannery purposes by
striking out that portion of the lease
providing that all buildings erected upon
! said land should revert to the city. He
therefore moved that the city attorney
draw new contract for the lease. After
very lengthy debate the vote was
taken, and resulted in the adoption of
the motion by vote of to 2, the dis
senting parties being Messrs. McGarry
and Rees, who thought that 81 per year
was no rent at all.
