The first appeal from the awards of
the Board of Public Works for the
property damages caused by the open
ing of South G street from Fourth
street to the west corpora ton line pre-
paratory to the construction OF the
South G street bridge was filed in the
circuit court today
1t was filed by Jonathan c. Evans
and Anna Evans. No date has. been
set for trial but the appeal is expected
to tie up the opening of the street for
some time. The county commission
ers cannot ask the county council for
an appropriation for the South G
street bridge until the street is opened.
The appeal states that after the
Board of Public Works had adopted
resolutions for the opening of South
G street, April 81, it awarded Mr.. and
Mrs Evans 5000 for damages to prop
erty which they own. The property
in question is down in the hollow on
the west river bank. The proposed
bridge and street would go between
the house and barn.

house selling depressed prices IS cents
at the start Sentiment generally is
bearish
Provisions were slightly stronger
with good buyers for pork and ribs
with light offerings
The wheat market was a sensa-
