The Consolidated Traction Company met
with a few etbackS on WAYNE street when
an effort was made to erect trolley poles.
Mr.. Arrowsmith, who objected at first, was
finally won over and a pole planted in front
of his premises. An owner OF a large plot
on the corner of Grove and Wayne objected
to any hole at all OF his property, but was
finally persuaded to allow a pole to be erect
ed on the sidewalk in Wayne street, sixty
feet below Grove. This compelled the com
rany to plant a pole on Bassett's corner. To
this there was 40 objection. An effort was
made to place one on Swift's corner, but
objections were raised. just how the cor
ner was to be rounded was a puzzle. 1t was
finally decided to place an arm on a telegraph
pole on the south side of Grove
street, opposite No. 800, and erect
g pole in front of property owned
by a Mr.. Gunther on Grove near Wayne
street. To carry out this plan a flag was
torn up yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Gunther
happened to be out. His wife, IN excitable
woman, appeared on the scene. She was full
of fight. The laborers had made an excava-
ton about three feet deep. In her language,
she Jumped into the hole, two feet width"
As a matter of fact, Mrs. Gunther did jump
into the hole made for the pole. and declared
that she would remain there. Her gesticu-
lations and loud voice attracted a large
crowd. Some laughed at the manner in
which she held the fort, others sympathized
with her. The Traction Company Iaborers
finally abandoned the idea of planting a pole
in front OF the Gunther premises, and pro
ceeded further up the street to work. The
company will ave a hard time in rounding
the corner of Grove and Wayne streets, and
law suits may yet result. s
Owners of property IN Seventeenth street
still have hopes that the street will be
opened to the Hill.
