Tenth street had been taken off the

statements of the Street and Sewer
Department on this question were
false, absurd and ridiculous"
At this point Mr.. Sparks arose and
explained that he and other members
of his department had not been in
formed what was to be discussed at
THE conference but that in spite OF the
accusation, he wanted 10 say that
there was never a department OF the
city which was more careful than the
present one in protecting church
property, and that in view OF the
charges, he would never vote for the
proposed widening of the street.
With a Good night, gentlemen
sally, he left the room.
Mr.. Emmons retorted, 81 have moth

subject saying that he knew of two
cases when the Street and Sewer De.
partment had had street improve
ments such as widening done at the
request of citizens who promised TO
( pay for the same. and who afterwards
/ failed 20 keep their promises. He said
/ that he did not see any necessity for
/ the widening OF Tenth street, but il
such was to be done, the property
owners should be reimbursed for their
/ trouble in engaging attorneys and the
/ like.
Hugh S. Morris, who represented
4 the Gomery-Schwart Motor Com
pany, whose property would also be
affected by the proposed widening
explained that this company placed a
value OF $4,000 a year on the advertis

/ planned that the company was plan
