Sweeney, Jr., Commission Legal Counsel, ad- i Friday, at 3:00 p.m., attorney May, representing * , agreed to withdraw the objections to the appoint - court- appointed appraisers and to withdraw his injunc- it.

The uniform consensus of opinion was to present and re- commen to the Commission that it is cheaper to go with a two-wa3 system on Jefferson Street for the two blocks, and a year or two later, if desired, revert back to one -way, than gc one -way now and then revert to two -way. This re- quest is just to give authority to go ahead with the under- ground work -- installation of electrical pipes and everything needed to complete Jefferson Street as a two -way system. The recommendation is for the Commission to authorize The Hickey Construction Company to proceed with the Jefferson Street alternate for a two -way system.
