RAYMOND PROTESTS
Walter Raymond writes to &C Brown
protesting against arrangements be-
tween the city and the railroad compan-
les for the abandonment of the piece of
land on Fair Oaks avenue and Columbia
street at the foot o. the Raymond HILL
Mr.. Raymond read the item in the pa
pers stating that the council had or
dered the strip vacated, and he feels
that injustice is done him, as this move
destroys the usefulness of the bridge on
his property. He understood when he
bought the property that the street
should not be vacated nor the bridge
privileges withdrawn. He does not
think that the council has right to dis
continue Fair Oaks avenue. which has
been done. Mr.. Raymond had planned
to extend the avenue southwark across
the bridge for the accommodation Of
residents. Mr.. Brown will place Mr.
Raymond's letter in the hands of attor-
= neys and his interests will be looked
after.
