Thinks il hur.S Property

'i'i'ih-' - - VI - - ~
1t is neld by some that the propos-
ed route of the Southern Wisconsin
Power company's feed wires for the
electric lines in this city pass over
some rather valuable residence prop
erty in the First ward. That is prop
erty which some day will be avail
able for residence purposes. The
matter will come up for hearing be-
fore the board of public works soon,
it is said. In speaking of the matter
recently a citizen who lives in the
section to be traversed by the line,
said:
Looking at the question from the
standpoint of the city and it's future
it impresses one that the result of
this line, if built as proposed, is to
destroy the most available, and we
believe, the best vacant residence
property in the city Property that
should be preserved for the future
homes of the citizens of Watertown
unobstructed by an unsightly and
dangerous servitude.
From the point south of the Mil
Waukee road to point near the cleo
trio transmission wire line of the
street railway, running from their
right of way to their power house and
thence along, adjacent to, the right of
way of the railways transmission
line to the power house would be a
trifle longer but less expensive, and
the question of damage would be
wholly eliminated, that having been
absorbed by the railroad lines and
the transmission line of the electric
railroad company. The preservation
of residence property for the future
use of Watertown will appeal to the
city officials and we also believe that
they will do whatever is in their
power to protect it.
