LUCIUS B. SWIFT
FILES A PROTEST.
He Objects to Street Cars Standing
Day and Night I'm McLeSn
Place.

Lucius B. Swift, who owns property at
1877 and 13S Mclean place, aired a grievance
against the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company in letter to the Board Of Safety
yesterday.
The street-railway company has barns on
Mclean place, east Of Mr.. Swif:'s prop
erty and on the opposite side of the street.
The company also has extension track
laid from the barn west almost To Capitol
avenue, and Mr.. Swift's grievance has to do
with the use of this track.
THE company uses this extension" says
the letter, and in spite of protest has used
Ii for long time simply as part of it's
yards and to stand cars on when not In use,
day and night. 1t runs passenger cars,
gravel cars and construction cars upon the
extension and leaves them standing there
hours at time, frequently all night, and
sometimes several days..
Mr. Swift states that he has protested a
long time against this state of affairs, but
that his protests have been treated with in
science by the street-railway company.
'sThe company has no more right" Mr..
Swift says, Ito leave a car standing in
Mclean place than it would have to leave
one standing on Washington street and I
have never been able to understand why the
police have permitted it,"
The letter was referred to the Board OF
Works and It, in turn, turned 1t over to the
superintendent of streets, who may take
action in the matter.
