about So. 100.
Rome Miller. president Of the Board Of
Park Commissioners, appeared before the
council to ask assistance In putting the
boulevard through, He said several small
property-hoIders would be affected and
that he believed these residents should
be given the best Of any bargain that
might be made.
Mr.. Miller declared that under the in
depreciation Of the law the commission
ers couldn't be humane" that all prop
srty holders had to suffer alike. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the larger prop
ertyholders should be treated fair but
should be compelled to stand the heay-
lest expense in proportion 10 the prop
srty they hold.

the legal department intended to be Just
and that II interpretations Of the law
forced inhumane acts 1t was the fault
OF the law and not the legal department,
Mr.. Miller explained that he didn't intend
10 slam the legal department.

council referred the matter TO the COM
