HAZARD TALKS.
He Wants the Peoples Opinion on the
Carr Franchise.

of the B. o. Carr Electric Railway
Franchise:
Being informed that many property
owners along the route of what is known
as the B. O. Carr Electric street car
line are opposed to the granting of the
franchise, and that the real sentiment
of the people on the subject may be
obtained, l would be pleased to receive
from such only of the property owners
as object thereto written communica-
ton on the subject, not later than We'd
nesday morning next October Sth).
Petitions are not reliable, owing to the
facility with which signatures are OBJ
tanned thereon, but if the franchise is
opposed, property owners should send
written communication directly to me.
A failure to send such protests will
be considered by me as desire
to have the road built, or as having no
objection to the same. Therefore those
favoring the road need not bother them
selves about the matter and those op-
posed to the road ought to take the
trouble to let me know it.
Personally, am in favor of electric
street car lines, and from the most relia-
BILE sources which l have so far heard
from, they are popular. l believe the
prejudice in regard thereto in this city
grows out of the manner in which the
electric road on Pico street was built an
conducted, but l think the prope,
owners along the line should be-
suited before the franchise shoul
granted, and take this method of =
tanning your opinion on the subje'
The franchise, if granted, in tt
is to be on the express stipulat'
only ornamental poles are to be /.
and never placed in the street. nor shs.
there be any arms projecting there
from.
