TO ENJOIN OR NOT?
City Council Discusses Matter of High
Board Fence Built Across Street.

Board Fence Built Across Street.
After a long informal session Of the
city council yesterday afternoon the
puzzlng question as to whether or not
an Injunction should be served on the
Union Pacific Railroad company to re-
strain them from building a fence on
their right-of-way across the present
Braasch avenue, was left unsolved.
A number of the councilmen believe
they had better let the railroad COM
pany alone, but the mayor is in favor
of sending the city attorney to Omaha
to endeavor to come to some agree
ment with the company without any
law suit The councilmen left the
city hall one by one without coming
to any conclusion.
According to railroad officials, the
fence is being built on the railroads
property and an opening to Braasch
avenue is provided for just north of
the old street The new road will be
more convenient, they say, for both
the passenger and freight depot. The
mayor is not in favor of any law suit
which may stop the work on the new
depot and would like to peaceably set
tie the matter with the roads officials.
One councilman in summing up the
proposition of enjoining the company,
declared he could not see what the
city would gain by serving the injunc-
ton, even If they should win the case.
If the city lost the case, they would
probably lose quite a sum of money,
while if they won they would not win
much. He would like the public opin-
| ion before he acted, he declared. If
the road has provided for an opening
to Braasch avenue, the company GER
tainly must know what 1t is doing.
Il don't like to see the street closed
up" said Attorney Barnhart, "but that
is not our property. 1t belongs to the
railroad. The fence is exactly on the
end of the railroad property. The
property has never belonged to the
city and the only way we can get it Is
by the adverse users law with the ten
years. limitation"
Il don't know whether to take action
or not" said Mayor Friday. 1T would
please everyone If we had an opening
on Braasch avenue to Fifth street. |
would like to get an opening there
without law suit
A regular meeting OF the council
| will be held next Tuesday night.
