ers in Meridian Heights If the street should
be continued in a straight course through
the addition, were unable to report yester-
day.
The members of the board are i. n.
Richie, Louis Akin and Fred Gregory. Mr.
Akin went to Deputy Auditor Shepard and
asked to be relieved from serving. He said
he was not only unable to reach an agree
ment with the other members OF the board
but that he could not decide I'm his own
mind. The other members of the board
were of equally unsettled opinion. They all
agreed, however, that the change would
result in damage to the property owners
but in what amount they were unable to
determine They were also sure
whether those who opened the Meridian
Heights were justified In plating the addi-
ton they did. The foard was appointed
three weeks ago.
