 Would Not Open Street.
 Mayor Toney reported that a street at Seventh avenue and Pine street was fenced ill and that the residents of that section desired 1t opened. Alder man Nichol and Jordan opposed the idaa of tn city buying that street for the purpose of onening it.

They both asserted that Mir. Murphy had promised to open the street when he sold the propety, but had failed and now refuses to do so. Mayor Toney requested the council to order con- demnation proceedings for the open ing of the street, but the council took no action in the matter.

 Because a street car, which has been running east of the ravine on East Second avenue "burnt out" the resi- dents of that avenue are without car service. The building of the culvert over the rayine makes it impossible for the Transit company to trans port another car onto that line. The matter was discussed by the Alder ! men last night, but no relief could be ! given. Mayor Toney said he would take the matter up with the Transit [ officials. Alderman Nichol termed it an unavoidable accident" l and stated that the Transit company ought to be held blameless n the mat ter.
