The Committee VIII Undertake No WORK
Until the Question is Settled.
The Committee on Streets held its semi
monthly meeting in the hustings court
room last evening and transacted a good
deal Of routine business.
Mr. T.. A. Catlin appeared before the
committee with the request to have a
twelve foot alley established between
Thlrtieth and Thirty-hrst and Marshall
and Clay streets.
After a good deal Of discussion as to
whether the alley should be u. l6. 20 or
q feet wide, Colonel Cutshaw recon-
mended that the alley should be made
sixteen feet wide.
The matter was finally laid over until
The next meeting.
DR.. James requested the committee TO
have the lines OF the alley defined which
runs between Laurel and Cherry streets,
south OF Holly street The request was
referred TO the Clay ward delegation and
the City Engineer.
Mr.. -. A. Brauer appeared before the
committee and asked that Fifteenth street

A'pstition from Mp, Il. Mayo and

the Guarantee Company OF North Ameri-
ca was next considered. which asked
for the legal establishment OF the west
erly line OF Jefferson street from Broad
street south to the alley. This action was
asked for because at present the house
on Broad and jefferson streets owned
by Mr.. Mayo, encroaches four feet ten
inches on the street.
The request was finally rejected
The letter written by the City Attor-
ney 10 the City Engineer. published in
yesterdays Times was not taken up,
which refers 10 the opinion Of the court
OF appeals that street Improvements cam
not be charged TO the abutting property.
Mr.. Meredith explained that the principle
expressed In the opinion was that all
street improvements had to be done by
general taxation. The court Of appeals
had given the opinion I'm a case against
the city OF Norfolk. While it, OF course.
fitted that particular case, II was rather
general and sweeping in its conclusions.
and the City Attorney Of Norfolk had
therefore telegraphed 10 him yesterday
requesting him TO ask the court for a
rehearing. This he had done and January
18th had been set down as the date for
the filing OF the petition for a rchearing.
Mr. Meredith expressed the hope that the
court would modify its opinion so as TO
allow street Improvements. such as paw
ing OF sidewalks, grading and paving Of
alleys to be made at the expense Of
abutting property owners.
A general discussion ensued. and Cap
tain Curtis finally moved that all work
on street improvements be stopped until
the court had definitely settled the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Curtis offered as substitute that
for the present no new work be under
taken. but that improvements now in
progress be completed The substitute
prevailed. and the committee adjourned
