Shreveport. La. Ian 100 esMr.
John jenkins, Chairman, Water Com
m1tfee. City: Dear Sir-We beg to call
your attention to the existing condition
OF affairs in reference to the reinforcing
OF water main ordered in BY the civ
council about year ago. or about I,,lv
1902. At that time it was proposed TO
run water main from the intersection
OF Common and Cypress streets down
Svpress street to Mcneil, thence on
Mcneil to Wylie street to the property
OF the shreveport and Red River Val
ley Railway Company, thence through
the grounds of the Shreveport and Red
River Valley Railway Company shops
through the property of the Ice and Re-
Higeratine Company thence through
the property of the Union Oil Company
to Spring street. thence through the
properly Of the Victoria Lumber Com
pany to Commerce street, connecting in
with present S-1ncl1 line ON Commerce
street at Caddo.
5 After several attempts TO secure the
right OF way along the line indicated we
were finally compelled to abandon this
plan we then proposed another line
which was to begin at our pumpirn
station, coming down Mcneil street TO
.ovDress street. thence along Cypress
street to Commerce street. This line
would " follow the right Of way of the
= ~~iA4S Z st1i y 9ay iAlIH aAS1S1sCi1
60 Spring street and probabh to Com
nnerce street This plan was not sub
united TO council as we thought best to
frst make an attenlnt to get the right of
way from the Texas and Pacific Rail-
way Company. Following out this idea
we explained the matter to the officials
sof the lexas and Pacific railway, who
at flrst SCENE dinelined to grant the
desired right Of way, but "a few days
later reconsidered the matter and de-
#clined TO allow the :-e to be laid as
proposed. his brings the prenosed
Improvement TO a standstiI unless the
city authorities will take the matter rn
with the lexas and Pacific officials and
exert their influence toward secrrinr
f,erisalssIoIi TO lay the 11lasn. We believe
that the eNas and Pacfflc railway off
sciais 90 nor realize the importance TO
Inc CITY or having TINS line OF pipe laid,
and Il the matter were brought to their
attention by the city authorities that
they would probably give nernllsslon to
