Of Mr.. Sparks, one Of which was
whether it was not necessary to ad-
vertise for thirty days before the
Street and Sewer Department could
take action on closing a street.
Mr.. Sparks admitted that Mr.. Com
nelly was right. where a street or
road was in question. but the bed Of
Beech street. referred to. never was
a street. Mr.. Sparks claimed that
the department had closed neither a
street nor a road.
He added that the street bed still
belonged to the city and could, at any
time be opened. if anybody wanted
to go to the expense.
This ended the argument and
