| The Passenger and Power Companys
petition to erect poles on Porter street,
between Cowardln Avenue and -FOUR
| teenth Street, W As denied by the Street
Committe last might, the company be-
ling instructed TO adhere to the Mayors
/ Judgment that the poles come down.
| About two weeks ago the company
erected the line OF poles, but a storm
of protest arose from the citizens and
property owners, and the Street Com
fore court for not, having permit.
THE Mayor gave the company ten days
within which to secure permit or
else remove them.
Last night a petition, signed by thir-
Ity-five property owners living on Por-
tier Street. was read. Mr.. Moore Of
| fered the resolution to refuse to grant
the permit. The citizens We're repre-
scented before the committee by Alder.
man b. M. Robertson.
The poles tend greatly to mar the.
appearance of the street, and could
readily be run. 1t Is claimed, in the
alley. Some of the citizens, who OPP.
posed the granting Of the ,n permit It have
1 them placed in their back yards, II
necessary. rather than have them up
the sidewalk.
Citizens Must Pay for 1t.
An ordinance introduced before the
Icommittee last night concerning the
repairs to paved sidewalks by Mr..
Mooae. was passed favorably and
recommended to the Council.
The ordinance provides that the Po-
llice Commissioners shall detail man
to make a systematic inspection of
THE paved streets. and wherever the
= "a va ma an fNttf r,f nrin hn not
shall be reported to the Mayor, and
that the party upon whose front or
sidewalk 1t occurred be summoned be-
fore the Mayor, and that he shall COM
pei them to remedy the defects.
Heretofore 1t has been the duty Of
the Chisl- Of Police to do this, but
he has not had the time to give to
the work that 1t requires, and as a
result the city has had to pay for re-
pairs in the sidewalks, which, in a
large measure, Is due to the pavement
having been pulled up for various pur-
/, poses and never perfectly replaced.
A A motion to have the Passenger and
Power Company repair the street on
Hull, from Seventh to the river was
Preferred to the First Ward delegation.
At this time the street has the old
tracks. which have not been in use for
several years. and 1t Is in a bad condi-
ton at several points.
