FENCE IS TORN DOWN.
Street Commissioner Acts as Directed
by City Council.

Tuesday Street Commissioner Sny-
der. accompanied by a half dozen
members of the street force and the
city attorney, went to the corner of
Third and Fillmore and there obeyed
the order of the city council and tore
down the fence which, Mrs. Emily J.
Meade had caused to be erected, en-
closing about half of Fillmore street.
The work was done early to avoid an
injunction suit.
There was no opposition to the
work. and it required only about five
minutes time for the men to stick
their pick axes into the posts and pull
them up. The fence was built of
barbed wire. which is in itself viola
ton Of a city ordinance.
The next chapter will be a lawsuit
to keep the city from taking possess
sion of that part of the street which
Mrs. Meade claims to own.
City Attorney Spencer was present
at the ceremonies to act. as he puts it,

To men of panoplied renown
Communing with the wild
To men who buckled fortune down
To bless the New World child,
