FRIDAY, MAY 13, igio All property owners interested In the proposed Fcssendcn street Im provement ore requested to be present at the regular meeting of council nxt Tuesday night, when some definite action will be taken toward improving the street. It is getting rather monotonous awaiting the pleasure of the trolley com pany, and unless they stir them selves into action by Tuesday night, it is the intention of a few members of council at least to push the pro ject along regardless of the feelings and desires of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. The idea of improving twenty feet on cither side of the railway right of way has been advanced several times, and it is quite likely this method will be resorted to unless the street car people show that they intend doing their part without further delay. Sometimes forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and it is rapidly becoming so in this case. The people of Fes senden street want this street 1m proved, arc willing to pay for it, and they should in nowise be de nied the privilege of doing so just as rapidly as they so please. Let something be done next Tuesday uight. Since it is highly probable that representatives of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. 1 will be present at council meeting licxt Tuesday night in regard to the Fcs sendcn street imbroglio, why not call their attention to the improve ment of Dawson street. Two birds might thus be killed with one atone. It is a crying shame that Dawson has for so long been held in its virgin state almost. With the new bridge over the cut it is more essential than ever that the street be improved. If the street car company stands in the way, we believe the city charter provides u lever for pushing them out, or in other words compelling them to do their part. Wc have no quarrel to pick with the street car company, because we believe they are a ncc essary "evil," but at the same time whet yfv Jcc ob. 5?y?J i kv O.ttt.lt AJnrlliln C.,CbJ9 1910.
