APPEAL BOND F|LED|
Starr Piano Company to Take
Improvement Case to
Higher Courts.
OBJECTS TO ASSESSMENT.

The appeal bond in the case of the
Starr Piano company against the city
of Richmond, has been filed with the
county clerk. The company intends
TO take the matter of the assessment
for the improvement Of South First
street to the higher courts. The city
attorney claims theassessment is fair.
He says the street was built primarily
at the solicitation of tho piano facto-
ry officials and they declared early
they would be willing to bear their
portion of the expense. South First
street leads to the piano factory and
the Farnham lumber company is the
only other concern that benefits ma
terially by it's construction.
The street is one Of the most modern
in the city. A storm sewer was con-
structed and the roadway is macad-
amized. Cement sidewalks and gut
tiers line the street. The cost of con-
struction was large as the roadway had
to be blasted out Of limestone.
