lTo TIE HONORABLE MAYOR
AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANITOWOC'
Gentlemen:
The undersigned citizens and resi-
dents of the City of Manitowoc, Wis
consin, respectfully petition your hon
orabe body and allege.
That the service now rendered by
the Manitowoc and Northern Traction
Company is wholly inadequate for the
following reasons;
The said Manitowoc and Northern
Traction Company built its plant and
laid its track about twenty years ago
and that the same serves but a very
small portion of the territory and resi-
dents of the City; the tracks running
from the Northwestern Station in the
heart of the City in one direction to
fine East and North; that the City has
increased in population seventy per
cent since the installation Of said street
railway and the growth has been
largely on the outskirts of the City to
the West and Southwest; that the hos
pital is located in the Western limits
of the city and two churches will soon
be in the course Of construction in that
locality: that as we understand the
facts, the matter of extending said
tracks along Western Avenue to the
City limits has been presented and
nothing done by the street railway
company.
For these reasons and for many 9th
er that will readily occur to you we
respectfully ask that the City Council
file complaint against the Manitowoc
and Northern Traction Company with
the Railroad Commission of Wisconsin
because of inadequate service and re
uucsting that the street car line be ex-
tended westerly along Western Avenue
to the City limits.
Moved and unanimously carried on
roll call to suspend the rules to take
action on the above matter, Ayes II
