We do not urge this as the chief con- sideration, but it is one of them and should be borne in mind in decid- ing what to do. ‘ public has no interest, because home- seekers aye disgusted with that street.

We understand the Northwestern folks are willing to allow the assem- ment to pass provided the city will give them the entire benefit of the electric road rebate of two-fifths the entire cost. We will do nothing of the kind; we will give them their propenportion, one-half; then let them fight it out in the courts if they wish to do so: if beaten in the end bythe :ailxjoad the city can pay it, for that is the great public thor~ oug'hfare and must be put into proper shape. another assessment. to make up the deficit.

As the street railway company Wlll pave 8 feet wide for each track, and for their two trackh they will pave 1(5 of the west ‘20 feet roadway.

Then give all the taxpayers 0n the east side of the street and the Northwestern railway on the west side of the street equal benefit of this reduction.
