side, captained by Mr.. Roche, wanted
ordinances passed appropriating the
right Of way and, in case of non-agree
ment with property owners wanted
the mayor to file bond and the city
to take immediate possession. This
difference, it will be seen, is one of
procedure rather than of ultimate re-
suit. Both sides in this controversy
have done efficient, service in advoca-
