An order for widening Chestnut
street was tue most important result
of last nights council meeting.
This order was made upon the
presentation of petition signed by
Samuel Pickenpaugh, the Hagans
heirs, sc. Chadwick, Ms. Garrison,
Baker Hardware Co., d. Fl. Court
ney, c. W. Coombs, G. d. Allebaugh
and E. G. Allebaugh. These persons
have agreed that if council will
condemn the five feet necessary on
the west side of the Z. c. Protzman
lot, they will pay the cost of con-
domination proceedings and the
damages allowed to Protzman, if not
excessive. Should the damages al
lowed be excessive, they will pay
the costs of suit in any case.
The street was ordered widened
five feet on each side from Peasants
street to Kirk Alley, all owners of
AUDITING property, except Mr.. Protz
man having waived damages. From
Kirk Alley to Foundry street it is
ordered widened five feet on the east
side, and condemnation proceedings
will be brought against the owners
of the Jacobs property, if necessary,
but it is thought this will not be
required. An order for widening
five feet on the west side at the
south end will be entered later if
damages are waived.
