1HEAI'ERT0 TEST
CITY 'SON|l | Fl !: J H.
Digs Hole in Ogden Avenue
and the Mayor. Orders
Work to Stop.

When the west Virginia
Amusement Co, evidently deter
mined to test the city.s. ownership
OF ogden avenue. formerly Hull
alley, removed several feet of
pavement in the rear of its Adams
street theater and started eSca-
vations this morning. Mayor Will
liam w. Conway sent police
man to the scene and ordered the
work to stop.
The work stopped.
Nevertheless a strip of paving
about four feet by twelve feet in
size had been removed, and two
foot deep hole dug and fenced IN.
City officials are attempting to
arrange a conference between Of
ficials of the West Virginia
Amusement Co. and the protesting
property owners along Ogden ave-
nue.. If the officials efforts are
successful, the conference will be
held at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and the city will try in
some manner to settle the prop
erty line dispute out of court.
According to Attorney L.
French McCray, the portion of
Ogden avenue, which the theater
concern claims, has been in use
by the city as an improved street
since 1902. Mr.. ,McCrays contends
that ten years usase of the street,
regardless of conflicting deeds.
would make the highway city
property.
The attorney claims also that it
was the intent of all property
owners to give to the city what
is now Ogden avenue when the
alley was made a street twenty
years ago. Thisis proved. he; de-
clares, by the fact that no protests
were made by property owners
when the paving was laid in 1902.
Attorney McCray, who repre-
sents particularly the. McCray Ga
rage which would be especially
damaged by the,allesed encroach-
ment of the theaters company. de-
clares that his clients will stand
upon the city's right of the street
by usage.
Surveys of the avenue and the
adjoining properties have been
made both by City Engineer
Shrewsbury B. Miller and County
Surveyor ,Raym ond Fisher and the
reports will proba bly, be used in
the discussion tomorrow morning.
Surveys made by the West Vir-
ginia Amusement Co. engineers
will probably be presented for the
inspection of city officials and
property owners.
