on the scenery and steam heat appara-

-Messrs. Slush and Taylor, the gen.
tlemen who are pushing the electric
railway matter, feel that they have
been greatly misrepresented, and in
some cases, needlessly so, in their eff
forts to put a line through this city.
We have no doubt that they are correct
in their conclusions. The principal
reason for this condition is that not one
in five hundred of our people has un-
derstood just what these gentlemen
wish to DO or how they are to go about
doing tin other words, the plan,
route and other detail has been
changed and revised until it is SO
clouded that the members of the coun-
Gil scarcely know them selves where
they are at in reference to the matter
Now in order to make the project and
its detail more plain the projectors pro-
pose to introduce another ordinance
and have it published thus giving
every one an opportunity to learn just
what is asked for and what the com
pany proposes to do as parties of the
second part. Whether their plan sue
ceeds or not, Messrs. Slush and Taylor
do not wish to be looked upon as adj
venturers or fakirs. They have plenty
of means at their command and they
mean business. They consider theil
enterprise good thing for all this lake
shore territory, as well as for them
selves, and all they ask or wish for is
that the people meet them half way
and at least, reason together, instead o
condemning that which is not thor
oughly comprehended.
