WILL vAcATE STREET

An ordinance was presented by Mr..
Nordstrom providing for the vacation
OF the foot Of Seventh street, In Alder
brook. for the benefit Of q. W. Hume.
Mr.. Hume needs the property In ques-
tion for his wharf, but the other In
terested property owners have not
been consulted and a request for
unanimous consent for suspension Of
the rules was not forthcoming. Should
the city vacate the street without con-
sul,lng the property owners, It would
be liable to suits for damages, and for
this reason the matter went over.
