Brlng bud the Guilty son-of-a-Gun!

Bring Out the Guilty on-of-a- Gun! To the Editor of The Farmer:
 heard G. M. Flames tell a story at a. hearing in the City Hall on the ques- ton of the new Stratford avenue bridge location The mayor had an nounced that the committee had de- cided on a plan but if anybody could produce a better one. it would be con- sidered.
 MT. Flames told his story of a fellow under arrest in the West on the charge of horse stealing The cowboys wanted thought they ought to give him trial. This was finally agreed to and one man chosen to preside at the trial All was made ready and the prisoner was ordered produced before the court, thus:-Brfng out the guilty son of a gun!
 It looks as though MT Flames was trying to have the Park board pull off the same sort of stunt as the bridge commission did and as his Western judge did. I see he admits that the Park board and officials of the Crane company had a meeting at the Strat- field to talk over the question That was evidently to decide just how soon the scheme could be carried through.
 What I'd like to know is by what right MT. Flames and the Crane off, cia1s fix up such deals. I'd like to know just who was at that meeting, name and official positions of each per- son present Not that it is any of my personal business, but it is the busi- ness of very man in the city. It's the public's business and the public ought to know what goes on behind the Stratfeld walls when plans are laid to give away the city streets.
 | think the whole town ought to know just what went on at that meet ing. Maybe if they did know, they'd know why some folks are so eager to let the Crane company have just what it wants.

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Is 1t true that the people can't have a. trolley line through South avenue and down BaTnurn dyke Do the park because there is railroad in South avenue west of Iranistan avenue?
 notice that Mir. Flames of the park commissioners says so.
 If this Is true, hadn't we better get that railroad out of the street2 It can only be there for the benefit of the Crane Go. which owns the land on both sides of South avenue. At any rate, it turns into their land.
 It seems to me that South avenue should be made clear for the use of the people who want to reach the par'k. If we can't have trol1eys tdnrough it; we can have Jitneys. No railroad, !, exclusively for the benefit of the Crane Co. ought to keep us out.
 Let us haze the railroad removed. Put, it on the Crane Go, s la.rds it bene- fits them, and give us the street.
 PROGRESS.

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Is it true that Clinton Barnum See- ley favors the closing of South ave- nue.
 it true that Clinton Barnum See ley owns all the land on the south side of the proposed extension of Atlantic street?
 If it is, maybe that is the reason he is in favor of the Crane conpany's s plan to close South avenue.
 We are told that the Crane company will grade this extension of Atlantic street, in exchange for the closing of South avenue. That means that MT. Seeley would not have to pay cent towards the grading which would inn prove his land a great deal
 Is it possible that he is letting this fact influence his decision as a mern- Der of the park board? Shades of P. T. Barnum, can such a. thing be7 EEl

 street, from Iranistan avenue to the Barnum dyke. This street will be 50 feet wide. Provision for the grant ing of this right of way to the city was made in the deed of the Barnum estate to the Crane Go.
 ssThe Crane company will give the city the triangular piece of property that the new street would cut off from the main plot at it's junction with Wa1demere avenue. This includes 700 feet of park frontage.
 we have also proposed another ex- change of property that would benefit the city, in our estimation. The Crane company offers us between two and three acres of land lying west of the Barnum dyke, on Cedar creek, in ex- change, for a tract, owned by the city betweeen that parcel and the com pany's property. This would give the city about 1000 feet of front. The land given the Crane company in ex- change would allow for the straighten- ing of the irregular line now dividing the city's property from the companys s property.
 MT. Flames says he doesn't believe the Crane Co will build across South avenue, if it is closed. He says the company wants to close the street so as to avoid the responsibility that IS entailed by the operation of it's freight side track on South avenue He says the presence of the side track on South avenue makes it impossible for the construction of a street car line on that thoroughfare-
 According to Nr. Earnes. it IS dan gerous to delay these improvements as the land-nay be built upon, which would, make the improvement regard ed as too expensive in the future
 Few matters of municipal business in recent years have aroused the gen eraI interest that the recent discus sion of the Crane Co.,, attempted grab of South avenue has provoked The Farmer is in receipt of many letters protesting against the closing of South avenue Here are a. few samples: To the Editor of The Farmer:
 hope that all the West End folks will turn outX against closing South avenue We want that street kept open and the Barnum dyke, too. We West Binders are entitled to some short way of getting to Seaside park it is no fun to walk all the way back to Iranista11 avenue and then down or to take a car to Park avenue and then ride down to the end of the line and have to walk over a mile out to the bathing house.
 Give us a bridge from the foot of Howard avenue right across to where South avenue and the Barnum dyke meet It will save us a lot of time and a lot Of walking. It will be worth as much to the west End as the Grand street bridge is going to be to the
