Who Owns the Streets?
Controversy Between City OF
Columbia and University
Trustees

Columbia. June 9.-Considerab BILE
Interest attaches to the outcome Of
! the controversy" if it can be called
by such a strong word between the
city of Columbia and the University
in regard to the streets that cross the
University campus. The University
trustees want to close up these streets
and the city is of the opinion that
they should be left open. The matter
is under discussion in a. friendly way.
With City Councilman W. A. Coleman
as the citys spokesman, and the out
come depends on an opinion from At
torncy General Wolfe as to the Uni
:ersity's right to close the streets
The idea of the trustees is to close
up Bull street, running behind the
presidents mansion. and Green street.
adjoining the ball park, through the
entire length Of the campus, and to
eventually remove the wall to the
rear Of the presidents home and make
the campus larger and unit. At
present the streets cut the campus
into several sections.
The trustees last Monday adopted
resolution calling on the attorney gen
eral to render an opinion as to
whether or not the University could
close the streets for public purposes.
AS yet the resolution has not official
ly reached the attorney general. but
he will probably prepare his opinion
rs soon as he receives the communica-
ton
The action of the trustees is said to
have been prompted by the refusal Of
the city to pave the streets through
the campus. The city merely postpon-
ed paving the streets through the
campus until the state can appropri-
ate its share of the cost Of the pay
ing the paving program being car
ried on on the fifty-ffty basis. the
city paying half and the owners Of
abutting property paying half. The
legislature did not appropriate money
for it's half of the cost this year,
though the city has it's extensive pay
ing under way.
