Superintendent Neff Says His
Company Will Give $500
For the Strip.
ITS SALE is OPPOSED.
1T is THOUGHT THAT THE CITY
WILL BE HELD LIABLE FOR AC-
ClDENTS WHICH MIGHT OCCUR
ON LAKESIDE DRIVE.

communication from Superintend-
ent Neff of the Richmond division, P,
c., c. & st. l.. railroad, in regard to
the purchase of strip of Glen Miller
which borders the right of way of the
railroad, was read at council meeting
Monday night. Mi Neff offered on
behalf of the railroad company to pay
the city $500 for this land.
Last August the railroad company
opened negotiations for this strip. 1t
was inspected by the city councilmen,
and nearly all of them were against
selling, ON the grounds that it would
bring the right of way of the railroad
too close to the drive on the north end
of the park lake. In his communi-
cation read Monday evening, Mr. Neff
said that he had no doubt but that
the company could condemn this land,
but the company desired to bring
friendly condemnation proceedings.
Councilman Won Pein expressed the
sentiments of the other councilmen,
when he said that he had no desire to
offend the railroad company which had
acted honorably in the matter. but
that he thought it would be most I'M
wise for the city to dispose of the
land desired by the railroad. He said
that if the land was sold, the close
proximity of the railroad right of way
to lake driveway would make the drive
unsafe and that the city would be
held liable for any accidents which
might occur. He also stated that in
his opinion the sale of the land would
mar the beauty of the park. City At
torney Study also recommended that
the land not be sold. Mr.. Neff's com
munication on a motion was laid over
until the next council meeting.

Hagerty once carried a note from
Ruef to Ford. 1t was sealed and he
did not know its contents. This was
soon after the empanelment of the
grand jury. In the summer of 1906 he
observed Ruef enter the office with

the prosecution it contained $4,000 in
small bank notes for bribing the super

Miss McDermott provoked much in

question by Heney, pitched her voice
TO Heney's tone and allowed a scorn-
full smile to play about her lips The
defense, raising an objection that Miss

ley attended when in Washington.
DR.. Pristol offered prayer. Gov. Har-
ris then delivered the opening address
of the ceremony. saving in part: 'All
who knew our Mckinley loved and ad-
mired him. He was worthy of the
fullest confidence and equal to any
emergency in either public or private
life. Mckinley had been the pupil Of
Grant. of Hayes. Of Garfield and of
Harrison in war and peace and added
fresh laurels to the crown of his elder
comrades. II is therefore eminently
fitting that the great defender of pop-
ular rights who took up the work
when Mckinley was stopped by the
hand Of the assassin, should be the
one on this occasion to speak of the
life and services of our martyred
president"

respect when he arose to tell the story
of the history of the building of the

ment. and Niehaus, the sculptor. asked

deny emphatically reports that the re

of the American battleship fleet TO the

the president would be willing to
award the contract provided that the
bids are not more than fifty per cent
in excess Of foreign bids.
They have been given until Wednes-
adv to reply. for at that date the
awards will be made. Owing to the
fact that the total of American bids
cover only about twenty-five per cent
of the coal needed for the cruise it will
be necessary to award the contract
for the 15 per cent remaining to the
owners of foreign bottoms.
