PETITIONS.
To the Honorable, the Council of the Village
of Cheboygan:
GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned
freehOlders and citizens of the village
of ChebOygan, having heard that it is
the intention of MIR. Geo. P. LangdOn tC
build steam shingle and flour factory
on the the northwest corner of Division
and Huron streets, would respectfully
call the attention of your honorable
body to the fact, and ask that such meas
ureS may be taken at the next meeting
the Of.the Village Council as will prevent
establishment of such business at the
place named, becauses of the central pO-
sitiOn, and the great damage from
fire that would naturally follow to pri-
vate residences and places of business,
because such a business there located
would be Disagreement OF both Huron
and Division streets, and because many
better places for such an establishment
present themselves within our town, re-
moved from the heart of the village,
and where loss to others by fire will not
occur.

Moved and voted that the above pc
tititiOn be referred to the Village AttOr-
ney.
of Cheboygan:
GENTLEMEN: Whereas, the buildings
within the limits of the village of sChe-
bOygan, are composed chiefly OF wood,
and in the business part of town are 10
Gated so closely together that in the
event a fire should break out it would
endanger large amount of property
and probably ruin a good many persons
that are doing business in the village
and have a great share if not all their
capital invested in property liable to be
burned up.
We therefore petition your honorable
body that you pass an ordinance pre-
venting the erection, without the consent
of the Council of the village of ChebOy-
gan, any shingle roof, shingle mill,
planning mill, sash and blind factory, or
any other mill or factory equally haz-
zardOus, that would be operated in whole
or part by steam power, and your pc
titiOnerS will ever pray.
