Mr.. Snydets motion to beign con-
domination proceedings for the purpose of
condemning property for the opening of

to assess the cost of this improvement
upon a district, as in other cases os the
opening of streets, do you intend to pay
for the same out of the city treasury? If
the latter course will be adopted would
it not be well, as suggested heretofore, to
first ascertain for what amount the land
can be bought? Laid over.
