OFFER TO BUILD A LEVEE.
Some Haughvile Citizens Want an
Electric Line Out Michigan Street.

TIE County Commissioners yesterday af-
ternoon listened to a delegation Of Haugh-
vile citizens. who are interested in the COM
pletion of the electric line between this city
and the suburb. The commissioners were
urged TO grant a franchise over the Mich
igan-ss ~eet bridge, and TO do it speedily.
The petitioners agree TO build a levee along
the track in The low bottoms, and also pro-
pose to reconstruct Michigan street to the
width OF Washington. 1t is contended that
with Improvements the property owners
propose to make the land lying along the
electric line will increase in value, and may
be assessed for higher taxes.
James Goodlet. manager of the Malleable
iron works was particularly interested in
the proposed franchise, because, he said, it
would affect several hundred men employed
at the works who lived along the line.
The commissioners We're referred to petit
ton containing n list of three hundred cit
liens, who prayed for the early granting of
a franchise over the bridge.
The commissioners promised to take the
matter under consideration, and scarcely
had the HaughVille delegation departed
er Neal, VINO objects To- the Michigan-street
route, and becs the board to hear the petit
ton now being prepared by citizens residing
on the West Side, and of property holders
from the WaShingtOn-street bridge west and
north 20 the line of Michigan street. This
petition viii protest against such grant, not
only because II will close the only unen-
numbered drive from the west TO farmers,
but VIII deprive the West-Side people OF a
street-car line. which they claim was given
TO them with guarantee OF permanence, and
which will be taken away If such franchise
IS granted. The West-side people, he said,
don't want the present route changed, and
expect 10 go before the commissioners in a
few days with Il petition containing the
names OF hundreds.
