 by Mayor Kilduff, Commissioners Whiting and Scully, who stated that q large majority of the people who had come to them about the matter were nor1- English speaking people and were not. so far as they knew, in any way interested in the project except for the benefit of the whole neighbor- hood. Neither Father Crowley or Dr Hayes. they said, had been to them about it. Another man said he had no objection to the street provided he should not be taxed anything for do- ing the work. He considered it no more benefit to him than a street on the Abrigador and saw no reason why he should be assessed to meet the cost of it no more than for a similar work that might be performed in the Philips pines third man considered it a crying necessity and begged the board to push it. He declared that the men who want to get out of contributing to the expense of that street are the ones who will profit most by it after it is opened.
