AT the meeting of the city council
held last night Attorney C. H. Carter
presented proposition which involv-
ed the transfer by the city to James
4. Howard of the unoccupied strip of
land lying ON the west side of the
north approach to the Main street
bridge. During the discussion which
followed il was intimated that the
title OF the city to the property was
imperfect for some reason, and that
litigation over the matter might pos
sibly ensue.
The various members of the coun-
Gil were sounded as to their views on
the advisability Of parting with the
strip of land. and all but one MEM
Der of the body was found TO be
strongly adverse to any such step be-
ing taken. Several members appear
ed TO be we'll informed on the sub
ject. and apparently regarded the pro-
posed deal as one which involved
nothing good to the city. After the
decided stand being taken by the
council against the matter, Attorney
Carter announced he would nptify
Mr.. Howard of the position taken.
So. should that gentleman wish to
carry the matter further. he will have
to take action in the courts.
The reason for the councils aver
sion to giving up the now unoccupied
piece of land adjoining the bridge is
because II is thought the strip will be
needed when a new bridge is con-
structed. Councilman Wells, who
was one OF those opposed to parting
with the strip. said after the meeting
had adjourned:
1T is only question of time until
new and wider bridge will be nec-
essary at that place. and the entire
tract will then be needed"
The tract OF land for the north ap-
proach to the bridge was purchased
Of ]. H. Raley by the city about 1890.
1t is thought that the city has a deed
of some description to the land which
will make 1t safe against attack from
any one bringing suit. However. an
examination Of the records in the
county recorders office made this
morning failed to show any such
deed to have been recorded between
/ 1889 and the present time.

and for high bridge memorial In Its conception
to cost about 81 100000, and designed to be
