fore you.
We the undersigned believe that the
b, ildng up of this part OF our city only
av ats the street car. that our best IN
terests Will be subserved by the grant
ing of said franchise, that 1t will be a
saving to the property owners IN the
c,,-l Of paving where SAID lines are eX-
te,ded along streets TO be paved anu
that if this matter is delayed until SAID
streets are paved the extra cost OF con-
struction will be so great that street car
COMPANIES will not care to construct
lines along them for many years. We
would i'lIthtr state that this petition l.
no, intended to influence the granting
of franchise to construct lines that
will in any way disturb or detract tr III
the service now in effect from jordan
street along Donovan street to the city,
bu: rather to improve same, as this l.
the short line to the city from that part
of town, and we would not have it in
terrutted.
