Ferry Lane is now being used for this purpose, he said, and his client is attempting to restrain this use through court.action.. He asked postponement of action on this vacation request until after August 16 when the suit will be tried, so that ,the owners of College Inns will not come into court without easement rights.

Councilman McDonald informed other Council members he would vote "no" on this bill, thereby delaying -<< final action in order to give the petitioners an opportunity to disc~ss the change in the assessment amount. Councilman Wingard said he felt the reason for a high appraisal 'on this land was due, to pressure . exerted by Hospital purchases in the area.

The City Manager said passage of the vacation ordinance could proceed, since it wouldn't be effective until it was signed by the Mayor - or the Mayor could veto it - then the matter of assessment could be reconsidered.
