AGAINST TERMINAL PLAN
REASONS GIVEN TO THE BOARD OF
WORKS BY DEMONSTRATORS.
One Street-Car System Better Than
Two, They say-Sympathy for
Councilman Cooper.

Citizens who are demonstrating against
the Interurban Terminal Company and
asking the Board of Works to refuse that
company the privilege of laying tracks on
streets where they own property present
three principal arguments for the consider
alton of the board.
The franchise petition Of the terminal
company should not be granted. they say.
because the street-car service which Indian
apOlls enjoys at present is ample TO satisfy
all reasonable demands. Second. they con-
tend that the laying of car tracks in front
of their property would do irreparable dam
20 the asphalt paving; that the running
cars would be an unjustihable nuisance
"A detrfment TO their property, for
mich they would reap no compensating
advantage For the third argument they
state 10 the board that the do not believe
there is enough patronage OF street cars to
warrant either the construction of parallel
fines by rival corporations or the surrender
of every thoroughfare in the city to street.
car traffic.
I'VE believe il possible" they unite in
saying To the board. TO obtain better serv-
ice from one company than from two COM
panies which would divide the patronage
between them. The franchise of the In
dianapolis Street-railway Company con-
tains ample provision empowering the
Board OF Public Works to regulate the run
ming schedule and number of cars. and to
compel the construction of more lines where
needed. We therefore pray your honorable
board, so the burden OF most of the petit
tons and Temonstrances runs. not TO
grant the petition OF the indianapolis In
terurban Terminal Company that they be
allowed the use Of streets upon which we
are resident property owners"
The name Of the Rev. Joshua STAINS
field. pastor OF the Meridian-street NJ. r..
Church. is one of those presented To the
board as a remOnstratOr against the ter
minal company. The name of the Rev.
man M. T. Church. is also signed
TO the petition. Among the names of
bankers and business men appears the
name of StOughtOn J.. Fletcher. Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Wait Howe have signed
their names 10 the remonstrances, and
other well-knOwn citizens and concerns
which are of opinion that the franchise re-
quest should be refused are Jacob Becker,
owning property on East New York street,
from No. 900 10 No. COO; John Z. Elder,
Harold Taylor. the Frank Bird Transfer
Company and the Indianapolis Transfer
Company; Andrew Kramer, owning on
East New York street at Nos. 500. Gil. els
and e21, and Frank +. Cross.
In argument before the Board of Works
considerable stress is laid on the allega ton
that the franchise petition of the termina
company Is a misnOmer, and that many
persons signed petitions I'm favor of the
franchise In the belief that II was a project
to benefit interurban extension rather than
q request FOR the right TO establish another
local street-car system. 1t has been con-
tended that the wording of the petition is
ambiguous.
