Second-st. Opening

Mayor Beakes announced that the occasion of this special meeting was to hear those who were interested in the opening of Second-st. Sedgwick Dean represented that the T. & A. A. Co. had changed their plans of a depot, and instead of the one originally intended, they were going to erect a frame one costingabout $0,500 ; that they would erect a better one if they had the means ; but being short of funds. ther did not think they could build as expeneive a depot as they would like. To reach the new depot which will be on the east side of the track, it is necessary that Secondst be opened. It would afford easy and direct access to the depot, and would open a thoroughfare that would be used every day. Philip Bach said that he was interested to the extent that he owned the land through which the street would pass. He had paid a good price for the property, and should want the city to pay him well for what land was used. Col. H. S. Dean said for his part he would like to see the street go through, and would willingly pay his share of the tax necessary to put it through. Aid.
