As we un. m derstand their position now it is this: b they don’t ask or want, and won’t ‘5, accept any bonus of any kind, not e even a trip pass to the Park Theatre. p They claim the road has damaged e their preperty and it has, all the a way north of the Electric Light Comâ€" “ pany‘s plant. At least that is our 2 Opinion; We should- want several hundred dollars to make us willing to have a street car line by our pre- mises. unless the street was wide and the track was in the middld of the street. They are not. as yet asking any damages, not direct certainly, nor indirect as far as we know. But whether they have yet or not asked damages, they are entitled to them in so far as the road damages their property. The city has no right to ask the residents of one street to suf- fer loss or damage, without compen- sation, by a street railway track or anything else by which the other por- ' tions, all or any shall derive a bone fit. The road will be a great benefit to the town, and we shall see it, if we don‘t now. ‘Ve once asked one of the Shanleys who built the Hoos‘ ac Tunnel and the Grand Trunk railway. why that road went outside from half to a full mile, of all the towns along the line on Lake Outav tie, and he said when the road was built these towns thought .it would damage them and so they would not let them in. but now they would do almost anything to get the road into their towns. So we wanted the road because we were sure it would help our city and everybody, whose opin- ion was worth anything, would see it‘ some time. VOL IV. As we understand it the road can satisfy these abutting property own- ers.‘ and at the same time do just as well for the rest of the city on soime such basis as the following. The present ordinance calls for the elect- ric road folks to pave their roadway the same as the street along which it runs, some 17 to 20 feet wide in all. Of course that means paving along over and beside two lines lot railway tracks, four rails and over the ties also of a double track mak- inga more difficult, and we suppose * more expensive jobâ€"for labor is the big part of the cost of such a' job. I But they don’t want their tracks pav- ed, they very much rather not have any tratfic on it, we are told, for the , following among other reasons. First it is always an annoyance to a street car line to have teams. especially the heavy traffic teams on the tracks. anyone knows how that works by his own observation. Second, the dan- ger to life and limb of man and ! beast from the dropping down of live wires is something the public wishes to avoid. Third it is much more dificult for the company to re- pair their tracks in a paved than in an unpaved roadbed; and there are other reasons why the company would rather not pavetheir roa lbed. Now we are told the company Would rather put down a 20 or 25 street paving, from curb to curb. all plain, straight work, than pave their roadbed. So there is a possible plan under discussion, for the ‘city to mod fly the ordinance and let the com- pany keep their tracks outside the street way, and not pave their road- bed. but pave the street instead. JOHNSHNORTH. The Highland "Park News. ‘ just as on soime The Now all we ask, or think anyone can ask, is that the rights and interests of the city he not injured or jeopard. ized in any way. And so far as we now see it would not only be as well but better indeed for the public,that ‘is the city at large, not to have the electric roadbed paved, a 25 foot paved drive way, well curbed on either side is all we want, [and if some such plan as that would adjust and satisfy the abutting property owners in respect of damages etc, why let it be done.
