"As usual, I must Insist on vot- on the piece-moal accepting of these properties." Smith said.

"For all you know, Just buying a pin in a poka." City Engineer J. L. McBride declared that, with 122 parcels of property, held by 70 owners, and necessary to be taken for the widening, there are but 17 lots, held by 11 owners, to be condemned Condemnation Costs "Practically every one of the 11 owners Is willing to grant the easements to the city for the project and have failed to do so only because of complicated property titles," the city attorney added.
