killed by a switch engine in the rail-

Against the City.

Against the City.
Again the case brought against the
city by property owners on Jefferson
street is before the courts and argu-
ment will be heard this morning in the
Superior Court. The case has been be-
fore the court for several years, and
its details are familiar to the public.

Jefferson street. The city first put
down a shell paving. This later proved
unsatisfactory and in its place Bel
gian block was laid. The property
holders, who had helped paw for the
shell paving were asked to pay for
TINS block paving also. They refused
and as a result the cases began.
There are forty-six separate cases to
De tried, though the decision in the first
case will determine what is to be done
in all the others.
