Service from constructing the Keno
Canal. Engineer Murphy wa« present
ami stated that it was not |»o*mble to
build the canal in such a manner an to
jM/riiiit the use ol the street by Vehicles,
ami that he considered it n«*cesaary that
the street should Is* abandoned. lit*
further slated that the government de
sired I«» construct the canal next year,
ami inasmuch an it required much time
advertise lor bids and sign up con-
tracts, he wished that the council take
action on the matter at an early date.
Paul Breitenstein, who circulated the
petition, wan of a different opinion, and
believe«! he could construct the canal in
such a manner an to permit of the use of
the street. The distance in controversy
