COMMITTEE is SPLIT ON
OPENING OF SAFEST.
Those Against Proposition Appear to
Be In Majorlty-Matter 10 Laid
Over Week.

Many and very diverse arguments
were made TO the street opening com
mittee OF the common council, Thurs
day morning, in regard TO the proposed
opening OF Safest. from Cass-aye. to
Michiganave.
Each side-was represented by more
than dozen takers and the commit
tee heard every angle OF the situation
discussed. Sentiment in regard to the
Improvement Is divided among the
seven members of the committee, with
the balance apparently against the
opening. No decision was reached at
this session, the matter being finally
adjourned to next week.
8 S. Babcock took exception to the
statement that the opening Is neces-
sary in order to run car line through.
Il had always thought that the car
lines were to be placed to benefit the
city and not that the city was to be
made To At the car lines" he declared.
The property u represent Is rented
for seven years now and this opening
would not only destroy its value but
impose an assessment OF 81 500 TO
$1,000 upon the owners for an open
ing they do not want"
The committee also heard from
about two score citizens, who were
interested in the opening OF Garfield
ave, from Collins-st. to Beaufait-ave.

in a s~ickening gust.
Tank leaked" he commented with
brevity. Quart of the stuff must have
trickled out right here. Ugh! If 1t
goes on at this rate, there'l be another
breakdown before she gets home"
And, Serve her right, tool" he
growled, vindictive.
But for all his indignation he ac-
knowledged a sneaking wish that he
might be at hand again, in such event,
a second time to give g~ratuitous serv-
ice to his gray lady.
Analysing this frame of mind (not
without surprise and some disdain of
him who weakly entertained it) he
crossed the drive and struck in over
the lawn, shaping his course direct for
tie front entrance of the house.

seemed to slumber, breathless, in

mist drifted between the serried boles
of trees, or, rising, yelled the moons
wan and pallid face, that now was low
upon the horizon. In silent rivalry
len" and velvet-black shadows skulked
