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
