Oak-Street Cut in. Sight. "
It is probable that the work of cut
ting Oak street through from Park td
Tenth will begin soon, as $300,000 of
the 1140,000 assessment baa been paid,
including $20,000 paid by the Burk
hart estate. It is expected that the
balance of the $340,000 will be paid
within a few days. The only hindrance
to the work will then be the injunc
tion suit of John Closterman and John.
Clark. Should their suit be success
ful it would halt the work.
