The street lines were established at an adjourned mecting of the city council on April 17, the majority of interested proper- ty owners favoring 11 thon. Mre Stewart opposed the plan. The writ alleges that. first. the city did not assess or determine the dan ages canused by the estabiishment of the strect lines: secoud, that the ac tlon of the council was not approved by the mayor; third, there was no notice of the action given to thr plaintiff; fourth, there were no proper legal or condemnation pro- ceedings taken; fifth, that Enginecr Buell did not have the proper bounds jfor laying out the highway: sixth that said layout took land of the de- fendant and that it puts the strect close to her house and causes the removal of valuable trees: seventh, that the city did not take the proper legal steps. Bmith street presented a peculiar situation for the city officials. At some points, it is so narrow that two automobiles cannot pass and the road 18 also badly in need of repairs. in establishing a 80 foot street, made it plain to property lcwners that at the present time it would be widened only to 30 feet. The old street lines, according to plans available, are somewhat hazy at some points, althougi the council felt satisfied that their action was a perfectly proper and just one. Corporation Counsel William X DeRosier will represent the eity at the court proceedings. Automatic Signal Installed An automatic signal, to govern traffic from the yard of the E.
