agreement to turn this lot over to
the city was filed In the office ~ the
city clerk by Noble T. Pierce. alter
ney for Mrs. Nys,rom. but for some
reason the city officials later decided
that the expense OF opening the
street would he too great for the
benefits derived. Since that time the
matter has been brought up on sew
cral occasions but no action was ever
taken.
Mr.. Nystrom contended that he
entered into the agreement In good
faith with former city officials and
that he felt that he was justified In
asking for the abatement. 4 search
OF the records indicated that the
council had never taken vote on
the question and it was tor that
reason that the abatement in Ques-
ton was given such a lengthy con-
sideration.

thorizcd the employment of -four
