And the Times, the only paper
as usual, commenced to battle
for some consideration for the
people.
The real estate the company
asked for at current rates was
worth from $4,000 to 100000,
according to estimates of realty
men. The Times demanded that
the city get some compensation II
1t gave away this much value.
The battle made by this paper
blocked the deal and it hung fire.
Several times 1t has bobbed up
again. On each occasion Com
missioner Freeland stood with
the Times against any conces-
Sions until the Hartman inter-
ests got ready to give as we'll as
take.
Walter Christian waited on the
city commissioners yesterday aft
ernoon and laid before them a
proposition that he will deed to
the city tract of ground 200
feet on st Paul avenue by 149
feet deep If the city will give up
East 22nd street and a diminu-
tive triangle on the site of the
U. P. freight sheds to be built
east of the city waterway.
The tract of ground offered the
city would make more than eight
city lots. At prices that have
prevailed in that section they
would be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000. They are located right
west of the Lincoln bridge ad-
joining the Carstens plant.
1t paid the city to make the
fight for justice to the people and
to stand pat.
