NORTH FRONT
STREET ROAD
Meeting Called for Tonight to
Urge Commissioners to
Hasten Project.
J. E. Schilling and others have call
ed a meeting of the business meh to
bo held at the Maishfield Chamber of
Commerce this evening to take neces
sary action to secure the opening of
North Front street without further
delay. It Is expected that a number
from North Bend will bo in attend
ance. Mayor L. J. Simpson has been
Invited to attend.
The plan Is to arrange to take tho
matter up Immediately with tho
county court and have them arrange
for tho right of way with Eugene
O'Connell, who according to the de
cision of the circuit court Is entitled
to the damages, and havo the road
built at once. General Manager R. M.
Jennings of tho Coos Bay Gas and
Electric compnny is willing and anx
ious to havo tho road put through
and will grade and improve it along
their property. Mayor Simpson of
North Bend has also signified his
desire to get the road through as
quickly as possible.
As the county has not cashed the
I warrant which E. O. Hall received
I for damages, It Is contended that they
' aro not out anything on the old deal.
Whilo Mr. Hall received the $400
damages from a bank warrant, It is
claimed that it is a matter for the"
bank and Mr. Hall to settle since the
circuit court decreed that Mr. O'Con
noll and not Mr. Hall was entitled
to the money.
The cause of tonight's meeting Is
tho intimation that the county com
missioners would not do nny more
work on tho North Front street im
provement until the abutting prop
erty owners agreed to It and relieved
the county of damage claims and
tlfat meanwhile the old road via Fern
dale would be fixed up for use.
