 necessary addition to the city's list, not one of which covers the point to the satisfaction of the coroner or the pros ecuting attorney. The ordinance Is as follows:

 63. The railroad company offers in sup
 port of its petition the argument that l the cession of land for the widening of Bridge street was voluntary and the city ought to reciprocate. The matter

 corner of East Chapel and East Pearly streets was adopted. This new layout is made without expense to the city.
