Friday night council, inasmuch as it
did not have sufficient funds, took no
action in paying the judgment recov-
cred by the Golf heirs as damages for
the condemnation Of a street through
the property intersecting Fourth
street at the bridge over Elk creek.
Just west of Fourth street, on the
lands of Mrs Mary Golf the Short
Line railroad has located its freight
depot. The new street is needed in
order that the public may get to and
from the new depot. The council, il
possible, should act in the premises,
as after the 2Sth inst, the city will not
be able to secure the title thereto I'M
less the damages are paid before that
time.

Skidmore, who are now at work here,
requested council Friday night to re-
lease them from the contract, which
it refused to do.
