STREET RAILROADS
A Necessity to the People and an Essen.
tiaI to the Growth and Spread
OF the City.
II Ought TO be Facilitated Instead OF
Being Hindered by the Taxing
District Council.

To the Editors Of the Appeal:
Tue great mass Of the people in the city
OF Memphis are wore out with the con-
test between the city authorities and the
Street Railroad Company, and think this
matter should be settled. The street rail
road is a necessity and should be encour-
aged by the city, and not utterly de-
stroyed by adverse legislation. What
ever rights the company has should be
acknowledged. We have large class OF
citizens in Memphis who have only
this mode Of travel and who
rely upon the railroad company
from their houses to their places OF bust
ness. Their wives and children can travel
upon the street cars. Ii is an easy matter
for gentlemen who have their private con-
| veyances to make undue issues upon i'm
material matters and delay the railroad
| company in giving additional aecommoda-
| tons TO the public. We all appreciate the
| good government of the city, nut we fail
to see the force Of its sction on Thurs-
| day upon the question of courtesy as
| to the manner of pi esentation Of the
petition by the railroad company. 1t was,
however, developed in the proceedings OF
the city council that the Poplar-street con-
troversy was the cause of the trouble
about Madison street. Let Poplar street
stand upon its own merits. If the railroad
company ought to pave Poplar street, make
it do so by proper legal proceedings. 1t
should, howe yer, be borne in mind that the
street railroad has furnished for nearly ten
years the only passable part of Poplar
| street for vehiclee. The city government
might have done better for Poplar
street these long years, aad what has
been paid out by the railroad company in
keeping their track in repair would have
paved their part of Poplar street. It is
thought by many that il would be TO the
interest Of North Memphis 10 have com.
missioner live ia that part of the city. Al
the next election this will be seen to-
Middle and South Memphis ought not in
the future, as they have in the past, gel
all the pavement appropriations.
