A Wise Veto.

Mayor Burke has vetoed resolution
passed by the council Monday evening
giving the o. & G E. Co. permission to
move their poles on West Main street to
the curb line. The veto should by all
means be sustained. The Mayor states
his reasons as follows:
City of Owosso
To the Honorable Arthur Dummond,
City Clerk in and for the city of
OwoSso:
Dear Sir:-I hereby suspend the
immediate operation of resolution
passed by the common council, Mon
day evening, Oct. 18th, 1908, grant
ing permission to the o. & C. E. Co.
to move their poles on part of West
Main street out ITO the curb line of
said street.
For the following reasons:
LIST. That l believe that the poles
would be very unsightly.
|. End. II the above named COM
pany should be given such permits
sion to set the poles 1t should be
compelled to set iron poles.
3rd. The residents and property
owners on said part of West Main
street have "a desire not to have the
poles so placed and 1 believe their
wishes should be respected in the
matter.
4th. The poles of the o. & G. E.
Co. are now in line with the poles
of the telephone companies and to
move one and not the other would in
my opinion give to the street very
unsightly appearance.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted,

Mayor.
