CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS ON
LOTS NEAR DEPOT STOPPED BY
PERMISSION OF U. S. R. R. HEADS
At the regular meeting of the city
council held last evening the matter
of the condemnation proceedings in
connection with the lots at the foot
of Adams street was finally disposed
of. Mayor McDonald advised the
council that he had recently taken the
matter up with the commission and
was advised by them that they had
no idea that such high prices would
be asked by the property owners
whose lots were desired for right of
way purposes. The mayor was ac
cordingly told that the railroad could
get along without the lots and sug
gested that the condemnation proceed
ings be stopped and an end put to the
matter.
The city attorney, therefore, was
instructed by the council to draw up
the necessary papers to end the con
demnation proceedings; and to revoke
the franchise that had been extended
to the railroad.
The street committee reported that!
the baseball grounds in Federal ad-;
dition would be completed this week,
and the baseball organization may
then proceed with the surfacing of the
| grounds and the building of the nec
essary buildings. The committee also
reported that the piledriver would
start work on the Fifth avenue bridge
this morning.
Mayor McDonald stated that he had!
—
been advised by the land department
of the government that the city coun
cil would have available for expendi
ture, at its discretion, in Cljff arid
Federal additions the sum of $5000.
This is 50 per cent of the money al
ready paid to the government on the
purchase price of lots sold in those
additions last September. There will
be a representative here from the land
department about July 1, about which
time the improvements in that section
of the town will commence.
A fire hydrant has been installed in
the vicinity of the San Juan plant,
and besides this hydrant there will be
about ten others installed at various
locations about town.
The council voted last night to grant
the San Juan Fishing & Packing com
pany the privilege of a meter for re
cording the electric current used by
them for power ai^d light purposes,
and for the cost of their electric cur
rent charges to be based on the meter
system.
| In view of the depleted condition of
the city’s exchequer the finance com
mittee was instructed to arrange for
a loan at the bank in order to carry
the city along until the funds from
taxes are available.
