Repeating RiRht-Of-way Ordinance.
An ordinance was introduced to repeal the
ordinance granting to the Rock Island the
right to lay tracks from Twenty-seventh
street to Thirtieth on X and streets.
This action was taken on a petition by the
property owners of that section setting
forth that their rights had not been guar
anteed in the former ordinance and that
they had no recourse for damages to them
selves or property. Injunction proceedings
have been begun to prevent the execution
of the ordinance which was passed by the
old council.
The resignation of o. j. Vineyard was
accepted.
The report of Johnson g. Skow to the
effect that the new fire hall had been
completed was referred to the council as

tanned in the four cases now pending trial
before the supreme court. These were
the Burke case the John Gillespie case
the Commonwealth company case and the
Nicholson case. They have all been tried
before the district court and decided against
the city. Since the retiring city attorney
is familiar with all the details OF these
cases he was retained to finish the appeal
to the supreme court.

Twenty fourth and o streets, transferring
