So far Klein has given no reason for his opposition to the closing other than that the contractor ereed to maintain one-way traffic through the Job in accepting me contract, and that the traveling public might be discommoded.

SEEK BAN ON LOUD SPEAKERS Bv nassage of a resolution the county court has definitely aban doned the 12th street market road project which would hat) connect ed the end of Twelfth street with the Pacific highway and II tne nrolect Is revived another year It will be based on an entirely new survey which will take the road away from the properties on which damage claims are askea. Two suits In court had arisen out of the claims for damages, one of these by J. H. McDonald, who asked $2000 when Mia had been awarded him, and another by David u Max well who asked for 11500 when damages of $400 had been awarded. County Judge Siegmuna states that Maxwell had expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the dam ages awarded by the court until after McDonald had filed his suit. The Judge quotes Maxwell as say ing, when Maxwell finally came in and filed his suit that if McDon ald got more money, he wanted more money out of It. G. P. H. S. White had also put in a request for $750 in damages. The court considers all of these claims excessive and when suits were filed decided to abandon the project as it lays and if work ever goes ahead on it, it will be based on a new plan which had been ad vocated by the state highway de partment which will not only make a stratghter alignment or the road, but will take the road away from those who are now seeking dam ages. Whatever happens nothing fur ther can be done on the project this year, the court states. By the resolution of the county court this will automatically serve to dispense with the damage actions now pending.
