baseball park and was enclosed by a
fence.
ben the company took possession
of the land. It waa assured by Mayor
Stewart, of Last TortUnd. that the
city would neter want the street, and
Councilman Hardy was sent by the
Mayor to Mr. Poulsen to ask that the
nw mill planned to be constructed
be rlaced on the east side of the river.
It was only with, the assurance made
t the company at that time by the
officials of Kaat Portland. Mr. Poulsen
ays. that the rompany was Induced to
place the mill m Its r"t situation.
Good Faith Aooallrd.
The chief plea made by Mr. Poulsen
tt the court Is that no restraining or
d r be I. sued to prevent the use of

products.
In one paragraph Mr. Poulsen at
tacks the city'a good faith by declaring
that It garbled the wording of a peti
tion filed by the company for the va
cation of the streeta and supposed to
be copied Into the ct:y"s complaint. Mr.
Poulsen declares that the petition for
the vartlon was not like that present
ed by the city and that It waa simply
In the form of a compromise.
