To the Editor of the New DOMINION.
Dear Sir: | notice in your paper
of October Gath my name is men;
toned in connection with the pro,
posed South Park trolley extension
In justice to the Morgantown Bridge
and Improvement Company and the
residents of South Park / desire tc
state that we do not see our way
clear to improve on former PROPOSE.
tions.
We again renew for reasonable
time the same old; offer free rights
of way over five different routes to
top of the hill and from the top Of
the hill we allow the Union Utility
Company free rights of way IN any
direction they may want to go over
any of our stleets. We will further
allow the Company, where grades are
impracticable, to cut through the
necessary number of our building
lots.
We further agree to guarantee
that no place in the route we choose
shall be as steep as the steepest
places in the line now in use in tae
Third and Fourth wards of the city.
We also wish to state that If the
200 feet of track proposed between
Park and Grand streets or some
other grade as acceptable as Park
street be used we will loan the Union
Utility Company directors for five
years at 4 20 enough money to pay
the actual cost of an additional
1000 feet of ties and rails to be laid
and the cars to be run over same as
soon as the weather will permit. In
the early spring we will repeat this
offer on second 1000 feet of track.
More if necessary until South Park
residents have service that actually
serves. q
We guarantee a practical grade
we guarantee most hearty co-Dpera-
If we are given chance.
In Saturdays issue Of your paper
the Hon. Geo G. SuuFgiss hopes that
some way may yet be found to build
the line. o.
He also calls attention to a misun-
Outstanding. Nobody knows this fact
better than we who live Ia South
Park. We are not willing to believe
that the Union Utility Company
wants to force us to build our own
electric line. Nor are we just con-
WINGED that the Euclid Avenue route
was chosen to forever prevent US from
so doing il stern necessity compelled
it. 1t is hard enough to build town
when all interests pull together. 1t
is much harder when they pull in sep
arate directions.
Our Bridge Company, if it livessand
prospers, must go with those who have
made ito these it owes duty. 1t
mas been asked by over fifty property
holders to stand firm against the Eu-
cid Avenue route as Impractical and
unnecessary. South Park is part Of
Morgantown and as such it is proud of
what has been done and what is being
done for our town by the Union Util-
ity Company. 1t is hard to estimate
the good done to Morgantown by the
b. & /. Company on Beechurst and
elsewhere The greater share of Nor.
gantown's property is due to the sacri-
fees and untiring efforts OF the indi-
yidual members composing the direc-
torate Of the present Union Utility
Company. TO these gentlemen the
South Park Company Is grateful for
what they have done for the city Of
MorgantSwn.
And now let us hope that the same
liberal policies adhered to in the past
will be continued across Deckers creek
aud that trolley line will be built Sc
as to do to South Park good and not
harm. Very Respectfully,
j. w. WILEs.
