The ordinance for the vacation of
Green wood street where it passes the
county high school grounds, failed of
the required two-thirds majority when
put on final parage at the city council
meeting Monday night. The vote stood,
yeas, A kins and Combes; nays, Berland
and Graves. Councilman Reavls was
absent on account of illness. At the
time it was said that a majority vote
wis all that was necessary to pass the
ordinant e, and as it stood a tie Mayor
Soyd vojed aye. An examination of
the charter shows that a two-thirds
majority is necessary and so the ordi
nance is dead. j
A number of citizens wore present.
George W Hyatt pruseuted a remon
rance against tiie closing of the street,
with 60 signatures. He explained that
he could have secured many more if he
had had time. Mr, Hyatt called atten.
tion to the fact that if the ordinance
passed there would be no street for
four blocks open eastward.
Capt. A. C. Smith, while unacquainted
with this particular case, was opposed
on general principles. A. 11. Rudd
said that in his opinion Greenwood
street would be the main highway onto
the hill. II. C. Cramer opposed closing
the street as there are none too ,m:'.iiv
open now. Ben Weathers said an out
let should be maintained to that section
which many predict will one day be.
come a choice residence district.
After the vote Mayor Boyd told of
the promise made by council to court to
vacate, by virtue of which the building
was placed where it is. Counciln an
Berland said he would vote to vacate 30
feet of the street but believed that a 00
foot stieet should be retained.
The petition for vacation was signed
by the county court and 'A. B. Dunbar.

The next attraction at the opera

successful play of the current season,

the play has been selected with especial
