MR.. FISHERS PETITION.
A. W. Fisher sent in communication
as follows: About q month age the
Electric Railroad company cut several
bitches across Fret etraet from Grand
avenue down to Olive and from Bunker
Hill avenue to Hope street, presumably
for the purpose of preventing the water
from washing out their cheaply con-
structed road bed. These cutters make
driving on the street not only ANNOYING
but dangerous.
II have called the attention of tho
street superintendent to the matter
several times, and he in turn has re-.
quested the railroad com pany to remedy
the fault. but they absolutely ignore his
demand, and he has advised me to bring
the matter before the council
'Is there no way of preventing this
autocratic corporation from inconyen-
iencing the public in the manner above
stated for weeks without resorting to the
delay OF e damage suit? l trust the
council will give the matter its imme-
diate attention"
Upon motion, the street superintend-
ent was instructed to repair the street
and collect cost from the Electric Rail-
way company.
