MINOR CITY AFFAIRS.

Board Of Public Works Will Condemn Right
of Way for an Intetcepting Sewer.
The Board of Public Works yesterday
ordered the city engineer to prepare the
necessary papers for the condemnation of
property for the right of way for the main
intercepter sewer from the corner of Ken
tucky avenue and Eckert street to the
White river at a point south. The matter
has been in the hands of GREGORY & Appel,
abstract agents. who have tried to make
arrangements with the property holders
for the building of the sewer without con-
demnation proceeding, but they reported
yesterday morning that they had been un-
able to do so. The principal objector, and
the man through whose property the
greater portion of the Improvement will
run Is ohm c. Wright. and the abstractors
reported that he would agree to nothing.
COndemnatory proceedings were then
ordered. the board expressing itself rather
forcibly on Wright's obtuseness.
