IF WALL STREETS CLOSED

The North Coast road is asking the city for Wall street
from Front to the alley north.
The railroad needs it for portion of the site of its pro-
posed terminal station.
The city needs the street for traffic to the northsde
Wall being the only in this part of the city that is
not partly appropriated by street car trackage.

The city needs the street and it also needs the railroad
The railroad needs the street and it also needs the city,
If the city has any intention of permitting Wall street
to be closed why shouldn't the city sell that part of it

The designated indispensable to railroad
is worth 100000. If the city will need the money
than does the financial prospect rather dark
in spots.

II there is to be any further

again to consider concessions on
the northside and on Wall street.
The date for this consideration will
be set at the Tuesday night esssion
of the council. Attorney Frank
Post, e. F. C. Van Dissell, r. In
singer and A. A. Kraft, represent
ing the interests opposed to the
closing of Wall street. were pre-
pared to take up the matter last
night The fact that the North
Coast has hopes of reaching an
amicable settlement here was re-
vealed by the statement of Attor-
ney Hamblen that the company was
not ready to take up the matter at
this time. r. Insinger insisted on
speedy action or postponement I'M
til September, as both he and Mr..
Van Dissell will be busy with the
irrigation congress practically all
next month.
The North Coast wants to close
Wall at Front in order to make
room for its proposed terminal sta
ton. The Phoenix Mill Co. and
A. A. Kraft are the principal OBJ
jectors to this both claiming that
their business will unjustly be
damaged.
If Councilman Ostrander is going
to insist that his terminal rate
proposition be incorporated in the
franchise. he will have that fight
to continue at the next session.
From the progress made last night,
however, it looks as If Ostrander
has this matter all to himself.
