MACY STREET SCHOOL
Building Not to Be Moved-More
Land Purchased

Yesterday the council settled the Macy
street school trouble to the satisfaction oil
all parties interested. For months the city
has been endeavoring to secure title to prop
erty in the Macy street tract sufficient TO
give the municipality the power to abandon
an alley on which the schoolhouse is locat-
ed. Saturday the building committee re-
ported the result of its investigation and
that Of the board OF education.
When the matter was called yesterday
morning the city attorney presented a Ger
tiiicate OF title showing lot II, except the
northerly l6 feet Of the Macy street tract,
to be now vested in the city, free of all in
cumbrances, except the taxes fo. the fiscal
year Of lS9S-99, lie reported the property
had been conveyed by William Meade to the
city in accordance with an agreement en-
tered into between the board of education.
the council and Mr. Meade. The purpose
of this transfer was to adjust the property
lines in the Macy street tract, caused by the
The herald., 1898-11-29

building of the schoolhouse in the alley of
that tract. The city attorney further stated
that there has been placed on record deed
from the property owners abutting upon
all that part Of the alley near the school,
which conveys to the city any interest they
may have in such alley Mr.. Meade has also
conveyed by deed to the city the northerly
l6 feet of lot IA for street purposes.
III was the opinion of the attorney that
Mr.. Meade is entitled to the amount due
him under the agreement upon a proper
showing that the taxes for lS9S99 have been
paid.
Upon this showing the council passed an
ordinance abandoning certain portions of
the alley in accordance with the petition Of
L. Holshire, and referred the matter of
purchasing additional property to be used
as playground to the finance committee.
At noon the COMMITTEES met and at the af-
ternoon session presented the following re-
port, which was adopted:
1--WE beg leave to report recommending
that the demand of William Meade for the
amount of the city's share of the purchase
price of the property be passed, with in
structions to the city auditor to retain same
until the payment in full by Mr. Meade of
the taxes for the current year on the lot
purchased
The price paid was sll00. Half of the
amount will be paid by the city from the
cash fund and half from the common school
fund

An InnOcent Defendant

Phil l.. Hoffman, butcher in the Eastern
market on South Spring street, was tried be-
fore Justice Owens yesterday on charge Of
battery, preferred by James +. Boyce, a
publisher of some sort. 1t appears from the
evidence that Boyce was the aggressor dur
ing all of the row. On the 23d Boyce left a
box in the market to be filled with chicken
meat, and when he returned for the box he
inquired Of Hoffman where it was located.
Hoffman replied that he knew nothing about
it. Boyce took exception TO this and began
to abuse the butcher, calling him a liar. lie
was very bosterous and, as he annoyed Gus
toners, Hoffman ordered him to leave the
shop. Boyce refused, and then Hoffman
showed him from behind the counter. Boyce
continued his TRADE after leaving the shop.
Hoffman had but the testimony of himself,
hut there were two witnesses for Boyce. The
defendant was discharged, however.

BROADWAY TUNNEL PLANS
Will Be Considered by Council Before
Acceptance

Because of two protests against the plans
of the proposed Third street tunnel as
adopted by the council at last meeting
with only the recommendation of the city
engineer, that body yesterday refused to
pass the plans and specifications of the pro-
posed Broadway tunnel without investga-
tion.

were presented by the city engineer and

petition signed by nine property owners
asking that the council extend the time of
receiving proposals for its construction from
the present date, December 9TH, to date
two weeks later, in order to open a wider
field for competitive bids and offer an even
chance to contractors, which, they say, is
very desirable in such an extensive improve
ment, their petition was referred to the

City taxes for lS9S-ls90 are now delin-
quent, yesterday being the last day in which
they could be paid without penalty. All
day long the tax collectors office was filled
with property owners who had waited until
the last minute to make their payments.

Guiding personal tax, is $755,4 56. OF this
amount s32, ,259.54 is personal property,
tax, which is collected by the assessor. The
remainder, $723, ,lSS02, is the amount that
should have been collected by the city col
lector. The auditors accounts show that of

ton to reconsider was carried and Ramirez
Was given a chance to explain his objections
He stated that under the proposed plan OF
widening the street ten feet had been taken
of of his property and the commissioners
had allowed him nothing for the land.
Judge L. Stanton, member of the com
mission which had been appointed to assess
damages and benefits, explained that the
ten feet claimed by Mr.. Ramirez had never
been fenced in and was always considered
part of the street.
But | want damages on the property
taken," said the protestant.

the rest of your land!'

MED the protest, and approved the commits
sioners' report.
