City Council critics and Judge W M Atkinson clashed after he argued that earth and stone removal near his corner on Washington and Girard streets damaged his property. Contractors Mc Farland Steele and Plank had been allowed to excavate under street supervision, with a plan to gain unimproved streets at no cost. A council resolution halted the digging pending further investigation.
