STILL Is GEORGIA STREET
Major Bells Petition Denied and 8
Protest Against Change Filed

Shortly after 3 o'clock the matter OF the
petitions for and protests against the chang
ing of the present name of Georgia street
to Georgia Bell, which had been laid over
from the morning session, was taken up.
A protest had been presented signed by
thirty-one property owners on the street,
objecting to the granting of the petition of
Major Horace Bell and others, who de-
sired the name changed. This was referred
to the board of public works, who considered
the matter during the non adjournment
but referred it back without recommends
tion.
Upon the calling up OF the matter, General
Charles Forman, who had been severely
criticised by Major Bell nh, speech before,
the board of public works, made short ad-
dress to the council, calling attention to
a number of inaccuracies in the statement
of Major Bell. After he had closed mo-
tion was made that both the original petit
tion and the protest be denied, which was
carried. No sooner had this been done than
Councilman Nickel arose and remarked
that he thought it small courtesy to the
residents who had signed the protest against
changing the name of the street to deny
their petition. He therefore moved that
reconsideration of the vote be had.
After this had been done the council
found itself in a ludicrous parliamentary
tangle, which required some time to clear
up. Councilmen Toll, Baker, Hutchison
and President Silver spoke, and it was finally
disposed of by the original petition being
denied and the protest of the Georgia street
residents being received and filed. The
name of the street will remain as at pres
ent.

OFFERED TO THE CITY
The Copp Fund Gift Presented to the
Council

Through their legal representative, Judge
J. l.. Murphey, Mr., and Mrs. A. j. Comp
Yesterday offered to the city their donation
OF the Gardner & Zellner property on Broad
way, conditional upon a number OF contln-
gencies Shortly after the council had been
called to order Mr.. Murphey stepped for
ward with legal-looking document in his
hand and read from it the conditions OF the
deed of gift which Mr.. and Mrs. Copp desire
to make. This trust is not made directly
to the city," said Mr.. Murphey, but is
made for the benefit Of the public. 1t the
property should be decided directly to the
city, it would escape taxation. This was
not desired by Mr.. and Mrs. Copp, so long
as their family derives the benefit of the
property
Mr. Murphey then explained that the
property was worth at present about $780,
600, free from incumbrance except fifteen
Years lease of the building to Gardner &
Iellner. The trust deed was then read by
him. its substance having already been pub
lished.
When he had concluded there was an
awkward silence, which was broken by
President Silver, who asked Mr.. Murphey
if he had correctly understood that the city
would receive no benefit from the proposed
gift until all the present Copp family is
dead To this an affirmative reply was
given, but an objection was made by Mr..
Silver to the clause providing that any
student who should be in arrears for money
advanced from the fund for his tuition
should not marry until the debt was paid
at seems to be-" said he, ''that such a
provision is in effect an injunction against
the divine law of matrimony. Besides, it
might perhaps operate to debar the student
from obtaining the means of liquidating his
Indebtedness. OF course we all know that
no provision can legally be made which will
operate to restrict matrimony."
To this Attorney Murphey replied that
his clients would change none of the provi
sions of the gift and that should the city
decide not to accept it doubtless the four
sons of the philanthropic couple would be
overioyed. 1t was decided that the matter
should be thoroughly discussed before being
acted upon, and upon motion of Councilman
Grider it was referred to the committee of
the whole, to be considered at an adjourned
meeting at o'clock Thursday afternoon

park bonds election would not have carried
in the Sixth ward without the help of the
people on Central avenue, and now those
same people were to be deprived OF the new
park they had hoped would be located in
their immediate locality, to the enhance
ment. o.: their ow 4 property values. They
also claimed that their site was the geo.
graphical center of the Sixth ward, and that
council would have no right to expend all ol
the money for park site, as the advertise
ment said for park site and improvements
thereon. They even said that commission
ers and real estate spectators and selfish
interests influenced the selection of the
other pieces of ground, especially the
Boettcher tract.
owners explained that the city had no rea-
son to ignore the rights to a park of the
neighboring property owners in the Fifth
ward. 1t was also pointed out that park
was something for the future, and should be
as large and well situated for the money as
could be secured. 1t was not proper to
spend portion of the park bond proceeds
for small park and use the balance of the
funds for improving the parks when the
balance of the city parks are improved out
Of the general funds. The provision which
stated that the money was to be expended
for park site and improvements, it was ex-
planned, was the perfunctory ond which
provided simply for the disposal OF sur
plus should property be able to be bought
below the amount Of the bond issue.
But there was no rest for the weary.
Speaker after speaker appeared, the dusk OF
evening drew down, the lamps were lighted,
and still they talked. Finally there came
a lull, which was seized upon to call for the
question, and amid fearful silence Mr..
Nickel, who was in the chair in the tenn
porary absence of President Silver, an
nounced that the vote in favor of the Boett-
cher proposition was unanimous. Not
another word was said, and the con-
testants filed out, the one set jubilant, the
Kysor adherents correspondingly depressed.
And thus ends the tale of the Sixth ward
park fight!
