Judge Gould replied that the rsmon-
strants were advocating the rights of the
company but protested against the ereo

Alderman Merrill asked Judge Gould

board should do In this casa. They

remonstrantsY
Judge Gould said he oouldn't answer

att ,ndanos of prominent citzsns and
much interest was manifested in the
hearing.
Tire petitioners did not show any dlspo-
sition to be heard ami MIR. David SNOW
representing the property owners on Park
street, presented a protest against the
erection OF These poles on this strest.
He said he did not desire 10 interpose
any factious opposition to any public i'm
provements. The street is narrow, the
poles on it are already very numerous and
the property owners cannot see the need
Of any more poles there. There are TWEEN
ty large trees on this street between
Spring and Congress street. The street
Ia built on ledge and Mr.. Snow thought
u would be extremely dangerous to put
mp these large poles In front Of the resi-
dences there.
Alderman johnson asked Mr.. Snow
how he proposed to light the street.
Mr. Snow replied that 1t was now beinf
lighted by Wsilsbash gas lights. HI

MIR. Brown said the Consolidated COM
pany were doing no houss lighting Of

and when the poles ceasei to be Of use
they could DO removed.
here Alderman Smith and Mr.. Brown
got into an argument as to how many
houses the Con olidated company Is light

tied by both disputants.
When this little matter WIS settled to
the satisfaction OF Alderman Smith, Hon.

strant against the erection of the poles
