 Street matters came up for discus sion at length with the reading of the protest from Julia Street properties against paving the street.

There was much debate, for probably half an hour In all. It was the occasion for heated arguments, back and forth. The talk of ward lines, of "medding." one with another's ward administration, the talk of rail roading' a proposition over the wishes of the people-it all came up then. And for nothing, 1t looked. for final settlement of the Julia Street matters was postponed until the Friday night meeting.
