Win power TO switch on at amp point to
Seventh street and from seventh stree
to GreeDhill or Woodlawn avenue,
DUPONT, Union or any other street;
10 fact the charter calls for the privilege
OF laying tracts on any street not preVi-
ouily occupied by the tracks OF another
company. and to cross other tracks any
where. There is oorrespondingly wide
license in the building OF sidings, turn.
outs, switches turn tables, poles rails,
cables, chains, DO. Liability to pave be,
tween aud for three feet on each side Of
tho tracks is admitted, aud penalties are
prescribed for any interference with the
building OF the line, or for any wilful
carnage to or obstruction of the same.
There IL one thing to suggest now Ia the
tiino TO stipulate that the rails shall be
tuoh as shall cause the least interference
with the use Of the streets by other
vehicles. Persons interested in pressrv-
ing the streets for ordinary traits should
get in on this OF once, before it IL too
late.
