/ the same as are now used on Main street
| from Fourteenth street west and any
/ material that the city Engineer OBJECT
| ed 20 would be thrown out.
! Tho only hitch apparently between the

| on account Of the rail proposed. INC
/ company wanted 20 use the stringer ran
/ and some OF the members or the Coun-
/ ell desired the Girder rail.

| have confidence I'm him. and If they did
he would give the city n frst-class road
and cars that were distinctively Man
/ chester cars.

posed. Ho said that the reason Seventh

and IN the Johnson gIrdor rail was used
! they would not be bothered along the
railroad track as they have been.

rail was used so they could have HUI
street paved.

comb. the city Engineer. which rail did
