VACATION OF STREET
COMES UP IN COURT

The case of the petition of f. s. Betz
for the vacation of Johnson and other
streets in the vicinity of his plant was
set for trial today, but by an agree
ment of attorneys went over until next
week.
Some time ago the proposition to
close this street was the matter of city
wide interest, and the whole north side
together with property ownersson the
south side were opposed to the vaca-
tion of the street
number of meetings were. held
over the matter and it was finally
dropped when Mr.. Betz announced that
he had abandoned the plan. The case
In court was not dismissed, however,
and apparently is to go to trial.
1t was put over from term to term
in the hope that the agitation against
the movement might subside The de-
velopments of the future will be of
great interest to the people who spent
so much time and energy in preserv-
ing for the people of the north side
their rights to this street. Bomberger
Sawyer & Curtis appear for Mr.. Betz
and John Gavit represents the city.
