against the city bearing any OF the cost

after investigation. says that the city
should bear no expense. excepting that
of opening, after all ight-of-way costs
are guaranteed.
The property owners whose lana ad-
Joins the proposed alley are the ones
who will be most benefited. and the
public should only be taxed in the
small proportion In which 1t is inter-
ested. The committee estimates that
the alley will cost not less than $500,
after condemnation proceedings are be-
gun, and damages to land are salts
fled. The committee realizes the need OF
the alley. but does not think the city
should establish the precedent of bear
ing the cost Of opening until the right
of-way is guaranteed. The report or
the committee was written by Mr..

The report was adopted by the vote Of

ton of Mr. Psenicka, in whose ward
