Dexter Il. Potter. who represented the
Burrill Building company. said that at
the hearing before the legislature the
necessity OF this street being kept open
was fully shown and the property own
ers I'm the vicinity of Comfort street
were amazed that the street should be
abandoned without notice TO them SOM
ply because the owners of land on the
highway agree to the proposed change.
Mr. Potter argued that the action of
the board was very unwise
Edward Shaw, 2d, also protested
against permitting the action OF the
board To stand. r.. r.. Comstock re-
presented John Shepard and asked
