The Winslow mail., 1925-11-06

l tore down at the request Of the
council at a financial loss to my
self. I feel that this corral was
an eye-sore and l was desirous thai
this property surrounding the town
hall be removed and l did remove
the same.
Extending for distance of one
block between Sixth and Seventh
avenues on Monroe street, in the
City of Phoenix, there is a horse
and mule yard in which today there
are so animals. Those Of you whc
are acquainted with the City OF
Phoenix must have some idea as
to the class of property surround
ing this corral; 25 foot lots in this
neighborhood are worth 100000
each.
Directly across Seventh avenue
from the place last mentioned there
is another horse and mule dealer.
In this establishment there are
about so animals. These last two
named corrals are right at Five
Points in the City of Phoenix. This
is the new shopping and industrial
center Of Phoenix. This last nam
ed corral has at least 100 feet of
frontage next to the Adams school;
in other words, the play ground OF
the Adams school extends for 100
feet along this corral. The school
building itselft is about 250 feet
from the corral. In this school
there are at the present time $40
children, ranging from kindergar-
ten through the Eighth grade.
"One block north from these last
two establishments on Seventh
avenue, just north of Van Buren
street, there is another horse and
mule yard, which is the J. M. Lam
bert establishment. In this estab-
liShment there are some rs or more
animals at all times. Directly
across the street from this last
named place is the American Leg
ion building, which is a beautiful
building in the center of an acre
plot of ground, and a building
which is used at all times by the
public for numerous public func-
tions.
in the residential district just
north Of Mcdowell street in the
City of Phoenix, in what might be
termed the exclusive residential
region in the City of Phoenix, there
are any number of people who have
saddle horses and COWS.
"All around the City of Phoenix,
there are number of subdivisions
which have not yet come into the
City of Phoenix. These subdivisions
are considerably built up, the
streets are paved, and all in all
city conditions prevail. Through
out all of these subdivisions peo-
pie who desire, have saddle horses
and COWS.
"As property owner in the
Town Of WinslOw, 1 am interested
in the welfare of Winslow. What
benefits Winslow, benefits me, but
l do feel that the Town of Winslow
has not yet reached that condition
w COy IL Cc1 ulNOI CG ICSS1I lIOM
all early day practices. WinsIow
is not a town of wealth nor are
its citizens wealthy. AS property
owner of WinslOw, I am endeavor-
ing to pay a paving bill in the
sum of $5,50000. l am also en-
deavoring to build new buildings
and improve the town. There is
no one any more anxious than I
am to promote the general welfare
Of Winslow and its citizens, but l
do respectfully submit that the en-
actment of ordinance 140 is con-
fiscatory as to me and other citi-
zens Of Winslow and that there are
no compensating features which in
anywise approximate the value Of
the injury done to me and others.
st respectfully request the COM
mon council of the Town of Wins
low to give this appeal of mine due
consideration and 1 feel certain
that your honorable body will re-
peal the enactment of ordinance
140."
