PETITION COUNCIL TO
REFUND ASSESSMENT
Suits May Be Brought Against City to
Test Proposed Proceedings for
Improvement of Sixteenth
Street

1t is probable that suits will be
brought against the city to establish
the validity of the proceedings for
from Normandie to Arlington. Numer-
GUS persons, among them Bishop T. ].
COnaty, have petitioned the council
for a refund of assessments paid as
their portion of the cost of this i'm
provement. The city attorney will re-
port to the council today that these
demands do not constitute a valid
claim against the city.
The improvement contemplated is the
opening and widening of Sixteenth
street, from Normandie to Arlington.
Between these two points Sixteenth
street is a narrow, unimproved street,
occupied chiefly by the right of way
of the Los Angeles Pacific railway. The
street on either side of this right of
way is so narrow that 1t is impossible
for teams to pass.
The strongest objection to this i'm
provement is the excessive cost of the
work, caused by the large amount of
land it was found necessary to con-
denim. Practically all the petitions fol
refund Of assessments are the same
They assert that the proceedings under
which the work was begun were not
regular, and that certain technicalities
such as the proper publication of the
ordinance of intention, the time limit
within which suits for condemnation
were begun, and other matters, were
not observed The petitions conclude
by declaring the cost of the work is
far in excess of any benefits to be de-
rived.
The council probably will take the
advice Of the city attorney that the
claims are not valid and deny them.
Then the protestants probably will
bring suit to recover the amount of
the assessments paid under protest.

MINING CAMPS SUFFER AS
RESULT OF SN0WSTORMS

DURANGO, Colo, Jan. 25.-Mining
camps in the San Juan districts are in
serious straits owing to the storm.
Railroad service is hopelessly demor-
allied, and prospects of soon getting
supplies into Silverton and other pros
poets are far from bright.
1t is impossible to ascertain the con-
ditions of the tracks as snow is piled
upon them so high that passage is out

 IN THE YUKON

A hot fight is expected in trasport. aulon circles on the Yukon river in Alaska through the entry into the trade of the Yukon Transportation X Trading company, which will compete with the North American Trading & Transportation company and the Nor thern Navigation company. There has been much bitterness among Al aska merchants against the two last companies for some years owing to an agreement which is said to exist between them as to rates and sched- mes, which prevents the public ben cCitting by any competition.
 The Yukon company is headed by Frank BWrichter of Chicago and the manager is F. M. Woodruff of Seattle, 6 former Alaska man who is now prominent in the Seattle Fur Sales Agency. The company will operate a. cut rates one steamboat on the river this summer, the Julia B., built in Ballard and lowed to St. Michael after many difficulties by the A. G. Lindsay World.

 Just as he was nearing the stump
