BY Mr.. Conger-
| To the Mayor and City Council: w
: he undersigned property holders Q
: Spring street and vicinity respectful
,sk that you repeal the ordinance sub
] hitting to a vote the proposition t
close Spring street by the Kansas Cit
5 Southern railroad, for the followin
reasons:
e First, the road has plenty of land fo
t any depot it may see f1t to build, with
out closing the street.
t Second, it will close one of the tw
e remaining thoroughfare5 leading int
= that section of the city, and will depre
t ciate the value of the property.
Third, it is against the interest of til
city to close any of its thoroughfare
= especially any of its important streets
1 Fourth, the ordinance submitting til
d proposition to vote is not fair, for
|
r hat it is a trade in which the railroa
c company gives Market street for Sprin
street, whereas it is not theirs to give.
Il The proposition boiled down amount
t to this: We give them Spring street an
hey allow us to appropriate and ope
e Up Market street, right we alread
f have.
e Fifth, with the unlimited means tt
: railroad has at its disposal to push tn
r ordinance, it may be carried, to II
t great detrinlent of the city through tt
r inability of the voters to post the1nselv,
It Is to the merits of the proposition
