NEED $4,000 TO
WIDEN ROADWAY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPTS
PI.AN-PRoPERTY OWNERS
TO PAY $4,000.

Nearly forty.two thousand dollars is
the total sum required to widen Hotel
street between Fort and Bethel street,
toward which the adjoining property
owners are expected to contribute at
least $4,000, leaving about $4,000 for
the county to meet out of its $4,000
appropriation. Supervisor Murray in
presenting the figures to the board of
supervisors last night, stated that he
believed a compromise could be effected
on the basis of these totals if the board
would approve the proposition. Delay,
he intimated, would be expensive.
Mr.. Murray gave the figures of the
special committee consisting of l.. M.
Whitehouse, Fred Harrison and j..
Lucas, for reconstruction of the build
ings effected by the widening plans, as
follows: Reconstruction of Campbell
building, $1,000; Damon building,
1880. As to the remainder of the ex-
penses the supervisor summed them up
briefly as follows: Damon building
land needed for widening, $4,000; re-
construction of building, $3.50; H. Gull
man settlement, $3.50; rent of Gull
mans quarters, 5000; total, $4,000.
Campbell building = Splitter claim,
$500; Warham Is $2250; Hee Kwong g,
$532.5 land for widening, $10,500; re-
construction, $40, 400; rents, ETC., $1O65;
$26,317,5O, making a grand total OF
SAL $3.50.
According to the rule of the law or
betterments, adjoining properties would
be compelled to pay $40, S0S.75. 1t was
the opinion of Mr.. Murray, speaking
for the ways and means committee, thai
a compromise offer of $4,000 for bet
terments would probably be accepted
The $4,000 thus left to the county ou'
of its $4,000 appropriation could b'
