After, consuming more than three
months In considering the matter, the
commission appointed by Jud ge witt, OF
the Hastings Court, to assess the dam
ages to property-owners along Lester
street, resulting from the proposed
work OF raising the, street so as to
protect Fulton from high water, SUBJ
mitted It's report to the clerk of the
Hastings Court yesterday. All OF the
pIoperty to be used by the city has
been listed and valued, together with
that which would be damaged by the
general plan. The aggregate amount
ar damages assessed is $127,400.S:.
Messrs. E. "A. Catltn, II. Z. Cabell, jos
seph Faherty, James H. Crensliaw and
H. S. Wallerstein composed the com
mission
Citizens Seek Protection.
Ever since the town OF Fulton sprang
into existence; its citizens have been
urging Council to take steps to pro-
stect them from the high water, which,
as rule, mandates good part OF the
town several times each year. At
these times, when the town Is made
to look like miniature Venice, the
people are practically Isolated. and their
property suffers untold damage Be-
sides, the street cars must be stop
ped at Twenty-first Street or there
abouts and sent back to the sheds. III
is sometimes several days before they
lcan make the trip around the Fulton
LOOP
Although the Council seems to recog
nize the Importance Of this improve
mert, and to know that the raising OF
Lester Street would practically give all
the relief needed, 1t has been slow
to take any definite action. 1t is ex-
ipected, however. that the action of
the commission will be an incentive
and that It will not be very long be-
fore something will be done.
Another phase OF the question Is the
fac. that some of the property-own-
ers whose land has been assessed may
no. be satisfied with the valuation
placed upon their holdings, and Will
enter protest. In fact, 1t is UNDER
stood that Mr.. ]. T.. Sloan. who owns
thirteen OF the lots to be conflscated,
has already said tnat he would file
exceptions
In the event that other owners take
the same action as Mr.. Sloan. the mat
ter may be indefinitely delayed. even
before It comes again into the hands
OF the City Council.
