The above was adopted without debate.

sioners is not sufficient to pay the actual
cost of moving her house and procuring Z. a
similar property upon which to place 1t.
She asks the council to allow her $50 more,
and proposes in that case to give up the
property at once without a contest. Should
she refuse to deed the property it will
oblige us to prosecute the condemnation
suit, the cost in which will ultimately
amount to more than the $50. Under or
binary circumstances l am of the opinion
that it is better to fight these matters out
on principle than to compromise; but in
this case there are some reasons why the
claim is just one, and in view of the fact
that the city will save money by allowing
it, l would advise that the matter be re-
ferred to the board of public works for ne
gotiations. Adopted.
As instructed by you I have prepared,
and herewith present an ordinance for the
opening of an alley through the block
bounded by Fifth, Sixth, Spring and Main
streets. Adopted.
