LITTLE Rock, ARK. Jan. s, 1900
Mayor Jno. II. Upton,
Forrest City, Ark,
DEAR SIR:
In order to make some Improvement
aud increase our facilities for dom,
business at Forrest City, it become,
necessary for us to use that portion OF
our right of way on both sides of tn
railroad, which was leased to the city
oo Aug. ", 1897. Won are, therefore
hereby notified to vacate the premise
so leased TO The city on or before Eel
], 1900. Yours truly,
JAS. HARRINGTON,
superintendent
This order probably means greal
things for Forrest City. Some OF
the city officials and several citi.
zens think it means the despoilia
ton Of all the improvements whicl
the city has made on thes,
grounds. In this we believe the,
are mistaken. Mr.. Harrington
plainly states that it is ain order
TO make some improvements and
increase our facilities" Railroad
do not go into detail and state
what improvements they intend to
make, 1t is not necessary, and
they are not required TO do so, and
besides railroads are Just like in.
dividuals-they have a right to do
as they please with their own
property without consulting any
outsiders, so long as their acts do
not interfere with the rights OF
others.
The municipal government Al
Forrest City has expended on the
Improvement of these grounds
something like 81 500. Two fences
have been built, the gullies which
ran through the center of the beau
tiful plot of ground, now known
as the parks, were filled up, the
lots have been carefully sodded
with Bermuda grass, trees have
been set out, and large under.
ground sewers laid 10 carry off the
water and preserve the shape and
symetry of the work.
1t is reasonable to suppose tba.
