THIRD STREET Opposition to any plan whereby the Santa Cruz Seaside company would not have a share in the cost of widening Third street was voiced by a delegation of some 60 property owners before the city council yesterday afternoon. Crowding the council chambers to capacity, the property holders appeared ready to "do battle" against any move designed to create a small assessment district and burden them financially.

Defer To March It Action on the Third street widening was deferred until March 11 and meanwhile the city engineer will go over his maps and outline an assessment district large enough so that each property owner's share of the cost will be reduced to a minimum. It was agreed that the district should extend to Cliff street anil lake in the beach company's holdings. Before Third street matter was taken up Mayor F. W. Swan-ton set a time limit of three minutes on each speaker, declaring "we will be here all night" if each protestant was permitted to speak at length.

Cost Important "Kurh property owner wanted to know what the cost would be before signing the petition," said the attorney.

"Some were of the opinion that since the city made the mistake it should buy the property back, or that every property owner should share in the cost. Realizing that we would never get anywhere unless an imaginary assessment district was outlined so that some resemblance of the cost to each owner involved might be arrived at, I took it upon myself to draw a district which I believed would be approximately correct." Offer $3M Check Following a short talk, Coghlan presented the petition and a cashier's check for $300, which he said a resident of the district had donated so that the widening plan (Continued on Page Three) RANCH BARGAINS 30 Acres just out of City Limits on Uraneiforte Drive; D-It. house, large barn; chicken houses: wood and pasture; 10-A. farm land: formerly run oh Dairy and Chicken Ranch, Cost owner $K(i00 cash; offered now at $11750 on terms by non-resident owner for Immediate sale.
