Whereas, The residents of the Third

much injured by the disregard paid to
OF trains within the city limits and
also by the obstruction of cur streets
by freight cars. and
Whereas, Within a recent date one
OF uhe railways running into our CITY
made an attempt to still further en-
croach upon the property rights of the
residents Of North Sixth West street
by seeking to double its track thereon
without compromising in any way for
the loss and injury that would be
caused thereby, and
Whereas, 1t is stated that officials
OF this railway have boosted, when de-
$eated in obtaining a franchise from
the present city council granting them
the right TO double their track as afore-
said, that the effort would be made to
induce the next council to grant said
franchise in spite of the people and re
EardleSs Of their protest; therefore be it
Resolved, BY this convention, That
the Democratic party Of this municipal
ward, in line with the principles of
Democracy as enunciated by its great

city government who will not pledge
his best efforts to protect us from the
evils We suffer And be it further
Resolved That rights of way for
steam railways through our streets
should only be granted when absolutely
necessary and then in such manner as
