paid for their sidewalks through a
petition to the council.

The last survey was made by V. R.
Parkhurst, who is county engineer in

The fact that Lawrence street has
been opened for such a length of time
is the foundation upon which the city
is placing its fond hopes. Having
been opened for public use for fifteen

who owns Lawrence street?
The city council decided last night
that Street Commissioner Snyder
should go to the Lawrence street scene
where Mrs. James Dwyer had fenced in
the supposed city property and with his
men tear down the barbados. Mrs.
Dwyer had claimed that the street be-
longed to her and she had fenced it in

The street commissioner and his men
adjourned to the trouble on Lawrence
street between Third and Fourth this
morning and after a forty five-minute
argument in which the street commits
sioner won the decision the fence was
torn down and the posts and lumber
thrown over the fence on to the prop
erty of the Dryers.
But this will not end the fight. Mrs
Dwyer with her attorney, Edward Nc
Keever is planning campaign in
which she will raise enough proof
to show that she has a perfect
right to fence in this part OF
Lawrence street which extends from
about the middle of the block between
Third and Fourth and up to the Klein
tract on the north. She will also show
where she has a right to fence in some

the whole matter and is causing a bis

Mrs. Dryers Claims.
In her talk with Street Commisst onel
Snyder this morning Mrs. DwyeP made
a number of claims that look good or

fight to claim the territory. Her claimc
will tend to put number of the city
officials on the defense, among then

claims that the mayor once ordered
that the fence be erected.
1t is true that Mrs. Dwyer has 1
number of records behind her which
will be recognized and honored by thC
court if the matter has to go this far
and if the controversy is continued

side it will have to go to court
Mrs, Dwyer claims that she has
paid taxes on this land for years and
she has the tax lists to show all OF
this. She says further that the land
was surveyed in her favor and there
are no city records to show that the
street was ever opened for general
public use. This point is also granted
by the city because the only record
