The ground embraces The lower Rob

The recent cut in wages seems to be
very muc to the liking OF the owners
Of the Creole, as IL will enable them
to get their prospecting work done at a
reduction Of twenty to twenty-five

whose owners are poor rich men that

 In response to an inquiry Mir. Cox stated that the company now has title to the land involved, and that when the town site is plated the land will, under instructions from Washington, be excepted from the plat.
 On motion of Councilman Noon, seconded by Councilman Brickwood, the matter was referred to the com mittee on public buildings to report at next regular meeting.

 Mr. J. J. Naugle, manager of the N. Nj. S A. railway appeared before the board and offered the services of the resident engineer of the company to aid in the work of plating the town site, and would haul free of charge from any reasonable distance the rock for improving the arroyo. Mir. Naugle stated that the company de- sired to work in harmony with the towe in the matter of obtaining title to the townsite, claiming the ground occupied by the company since 1882, the right of way 100 feet from center of track, and twenty acres for station groonds.
 In response to an inquiry Mir. Naugle stated that the company would probably concede land to widen tue street, on east side of side track below the Montezuma hotel but would hardly convey the land. The company would under take to move the siding along Morley avenue and put it closer to the main track.
