Commissioner Eugene Sturgls met the avalanche of varying opinions with the declaration: 'Let's get this thing in black and "white and let the property owners Tight It out. This is not the time fur protests. This is the time to put the ordinance on the books." Mandcl Goldwater, one of the protesting group, Jumped to his feet and said: "You're Choking this down the throats of those who pay the Mils." "We're not choking anything," Sturgls countered. "Protests will be heard at the proper time." PROTESTANTS STAND.

In a declaration of protest signed by 81 property owners, including B.

If this system of assessment ts hot followed, tho protectants asked hat a zone method of assessment the used which would make the burden lightest upon those prop-tarty owners farthest removed from Ithe district. "Why the delay?" asked John Toland, speaking in favor ot the improvement. "The only thing to be gained by postponement would be a further chance to negotiate with the owners In hopes of gaining concessions from them."

Charles Truman interposed witri the statement that Hamburger and Kern "are not on trial." The ordinance was finally parsed by unanimous vote, all members of the council being present.
