To the Honorable Board Of Mayor aud General
Council:
Your petitioners would respectfully ask to
all your attention to the great importance, at
his particular time, Of paving Washington
treet with stone, from Main street 10 the river.
our City Engineer will inform you that the
lscent from the river 10 Main street can be
accomplished at a less grade on Washington
treet than any other street leading to the
liver. The Importance Of this fact cannot be
)yer- estimated. in view Of the fact that in
,reased facilities for the transfer Of heavy
reights always increase trade. The depot Of
he Little Rock railroad is now located at the
DOT Of Washington street, now doing a very
arge and increasing business; In addition 10
which the depot Of the Memphis and Paducah
Dad will be located on the same street, requir-
ng a greater capacity than any other street in
he city. Your petitioners feel sure that you
sill give your earliest attention 70 what Il 20
Dlishment.
