 Pennington avenue crossing was dis
 cussed. How liberally?" asked Coun-

 the council and the mayor and the sidewalks adjoining railroad property ard that the mayor and city officials
 had agreed with the superintendent that the railroad should not be com-
 pelled to pay. This arouser the ire of thee ouncil and the mayor and the minutes Of the council meeting at
 which Mr, Snavely appeared and stat cd very definitely tbat the railroad would pay were read. MT. Nosjian was unconyinced and again City Clerk T. F. Steele was asked 10 read the minutes. To clinch the argument. Thomas A. Tracy said he was presen, at the meeting and heard Mir. Snavcly agree to pay. This apparently did not alter the engineers opinion for he countered with a statement that
 Mayor Wade had told Mir. Snavely that the "eity had everything it want ed Of the railroad" and would not ask for the sidewalk payment. Herenpon Mayor Wade put his foot down hard, and addressing the engineer. said: That's too broad statement. I don't think that was told you by Mir.
