COMMUNICATIONS.
From his Honor the Mayor, street railway
track Abandoned
The Honorable the President and Common
Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN have the honor herewith TO
transmit to you the petition of many OF the
residents Of the western portion OF the
Fourth ward, who complain that the st. Paul
City Railway company have abandoned three
blocks of track between Randolph street and
Lee avenue, on West Seventh street, such
abandonment being claimed to result in
great public inconvenience. Alarge portion
OF that community settled there on account
OF the existence OF city railway, and pur-
chased their property on the faith that its
service would be continued. The absence of
Mr.. Lowery, the president of the company,
has prevented my being able to obtain from
:he company a statement Of the
causes for such abandonment and 1
can not therefore give you
such information, and as your honorable
body alone have the power to apply the
proper remedy, | have the honor to request
that you take such action as will protect the
citizens who complain in their rights and
cause a resumption of the service which has
been Abandoned. Respectfully,
c. ID. O'BRIEN, Mayor.
