The plan adopted and which will be OBJ
served by the Commissioners in the matter of
street extensions, as stated by Capt. Powell
yesterday is 10 run the streets straight. There
will be no deviation from straight line, he
said. as the law does not contemplate
divergence in any case. II follows that in
the extensions through the village Of Mount
Pleasant the objections to carrying Sixteenth
street in a straight line will be overruled.
It is believed at the Commissioners Office
that when the citizens of Mount Pleasant are
made fully acquainted with the injurious re-
suits that will follow from the proposed de-
fiection toward Seventeenth street they will
abandon their opposition 10 the Office plan.
Those who object TO straight extension ad-
vance the proposition of a route that will
utilize part ofthe Piney Branch road Tor
certain distance, and then return to the Six
teenth street line, but this practically occu-
pies for Sixteenth street part of the route
laid out for Seventeenth street, and leaves a
block of nearly half mile that would de-
pend upon other provision. involving the
laying out Of cross streets, and in which
there would be practically no ''street ex-
tension The expenditure, it is claimed,
would be made in vain.
From the action tlken by Messrs. Christy
and Smith. counsel for five of the policemen
dismissed on account Of the developments
from the raid at Wells saloon last July, it Is
evident that there Is no disposition to let the
matter drop. notwithstanding the fact that
the Commissioners regard the incident as
closed. Col Christy informed TIE TIMES,
In L recent interview, that il was the inten-
ton OF counsel to procure a rehearing by the
Commissioners if possible. and lengthy brief
had been fled, stating the grounds therefor;
but in case the effo II failed, the public would
not be lett in ignorance of future course.
There is nothing TO conceal" said both gen.
tlemen, but we want 10 go first for redress,
10 the Commissioners" President Ross
promised Messrs Christy and Smith, at that
iuncture. that their appeal should have due
attention at the hands Of the board.
The latest step in this case, which has al
ready given the Fat Mems Beneficial Associa-
ton considerable notOriety, was taken yes
terday. The counsel for the men fled re-
quest with the Commissioners for a duly au-
thenticated copy OF the record OF the proceed
ings in the accusation and trial, together
with a copy Of the record upon which the
men were acquitted by the trial board, and Of
the subsequent "unsworn narratives" pre-
sented, by means Of which the board justI-
flea judgment Of dismissal.
