NEW STREET
OPENED SUNDAY
Men Who Did the Merk Arrested for Break
ing the Sabbath Trial Will Be
Held Tomorrow.

The city council, at it's regular meet
ing on Thursday night, last, passed a
resolution ordering that Galisteo Street
be at once extended to Palace Avenue.
The extension Of this street meant the
use of land belonging to private prop.
erty owners. A majority of the owners
of the property abutting on the pro-
posed street had donated strip each
through their property to make twen-
ty-five-foot street.
The council, at its meeting, instruct
ed the city attorney to bring condem-
nation proceedings before Judge Nc
Fie so that that portion of land abut-
ting on San Francisco Street and ex-
tending back some fifty feet. owned by
Luis M. Ortiz, might be appraised and
purchased by the city.
After considering the matter and be-
cause of the fact that Ortiz had already
begun the erection of a building on
This lot. which, if finished before the
proper proceedings were brought,
would make the land more valuable
and probably too high-priced for the
CITY to purchase, it was decided by the
city engineer to open up the street yes
terday, as on Sunday the men couid
not be enjoined from working.
Acting upon this plan, a large force
of workmen were put to work yester-
day morning and succeeded in opening
I'D the street for traffic. Whlle they
were at work complaint was made and
the men were arrested on the charge OF
breaking the Sabbath and all were
placed in the city jail They were
kent there until / o'clock, when they
were released on bond to appear be-
fore Judge McF'ie at 10 o'clock this
morning
At thi, hour. the offenders were
brought before the court, Judge John
R. McFie presiding. Judge Merle read
