Several members of the city council who have evinced a very urgent desire to have the West O street viaduct completed ] this year mot in conference last ovenlng with a committee of property owners with a view to preventing the bringing of injunction proceedings. It was acknowledged by the councllmcn that the damages allowed were insignificant , and it developed that the council had no iwwer to Increase the amounts. When this latter fact had been established there was an end to the confer ence. Attorneys representing Hargrcavos Bros. , BuckstatT Bros. , Mrs. Kato Martion Judge Hall and E. 12. Brown are preparing the injunction papers. They attack the validity of the viaduct ordinance for the following reasons : That the title expresses more than ono subject ; that the ordinance itself contains a number of subjects and ordains a number of matters not expressed in the title ; that It attempts to exempt from taxation a portion of thu taxable property of the city ; that It creates a board of appraisers and provides for no appeal from the findings thereof , when the council has oo authority therefor ; that the council attempts to exercise powers which It doesn't possess. The general opinion of lawyers Is that the ordinance will not stand In-tho courts. Secured I'ivo Thounnnd.

About fifty owners of property abutting on Park avenue , between Half Howard and Farnam streetshold a meeting at O'Keoffe's hall , corner of Park avenue and Leaven- worth street , last night , to protest against the assessing of thulr property for the purpose of opening Park avonuo. L , J , Drake presided and J. E. Dlotrlck was sec retary. There is quioo a long story connected with this matter. In 1847 the city council decided to close Twenty-ninth street from Farnam to Howard , ami to open an avenue In place of the section of closed street , to bo knpwn as Twenty.nlnth or Park avenue. It was thn intention of the council to soil the portion of street thus condemned to owners of adjacent property , and to apply the proceeds of the Bules to the purchase of property condemned for the opening of the now thoroughfare , There was some objection to the closing of the old street , which matter was carried into the courts and is still in litigation ; and the property owners who mot last night pretest - test that the assessment of $ WXK ( ) levied against them for thu purpose of oponinir the new avenue is unjust and not according to law , and a vigorous objection oa their part is the result. Attorney Slmeral was appointed to fight the assessment for the property owners , and a committee of fifteen , to be choscd within the next two days , will wait upon the Board of Equalization next Friday night and duly enter objection In accordance with the do- clslou made at last night's mooting , Plies of people nave pi.ca , out De Witt's Witch Hazel Salvo wlllcuro them.
