MISSION ROAD ELECTRIC LINE

MISSION ROAD ELECTRIC LINE.
Editor Herald: Knowing you always
champion the cause of the people and
are ever willing to give a listening ear
to their wants and needs, we would like
to call your attention to a few facts.
A few months ago there was a fran
chlse advertised by the city council for
the construction of an electric street car
line on what is know as the Macy street
and Mission road route. There were
three bidders for the franchise, and the
council held off from granting the right
to either for weeks to try and find out
which of the three intended in good
faith to build the road. The Clark and
sherman company came before the
council and assured them they intended
and were anxious to build the road, and
were willing to guarantee by bond
that they would do so in the required
time. The council also assured the citi-
zens that were interested in the building
of the road, that is those owning prop
erty along the route that to whomso-
ever they awarded the franchise they
would have to put up good and suffic-
lent bond to guarantee the construction
and operation of the said road In the
face OF all that and unknown to the peO-
pie and some months before the time has
expired for the construction of the road
the council has granted the Sherman
company one year additional time. This
makes the fourth time the same route
has been tied up, and the people have
grown tired and disguised and protest.
ed against any high-handed proceeding
by men whom the people have put in Of
flee to look after their interests We
also demand the revoking of the extern
ton of time and still hold the Sherman
company to the time as agreed on in the
granting of the franchise.
