the signature of the club as whole or
the Signatures of the members as indi-
viduals, asking the City Council to re-
fuse to allow street car franchise to

The petition showed that Monument
Avenue was really the "show" street OF

sadly married by being cut across by
any more car tracks.
Mr.. Pelouze also stated that the dam
ger tc vehicles, especially automobiles,
IN wet weather was very great, as the
