Gentlemen-Ip regard to this petition we want
you to give II a fair and Impartial consideration.
We can't help but feel that our rights as citizens
and taxpayers have been ignored and trampled
upon.
| BILE body previous TO this, as you must know was
| Illegally defeated. Having had some of the best
| counsel we find that Ill. and j. Frleseke had no
right whatever to vote againstit.
1t would cost the city less now than at any 9TH
er time. They have put their whole force at
| work directly where the street should be and are
running i considerably deeper than other places
prospects OF ever having street there.
| Signed, TAXPAYERS.
