Show FOR THE EXTENSION. A Cltlon of East Itrluliam Wrltn Ahaut tha Abiaaoa of the Ntraat Car Lina. EniTOit Timks I find the following article in the Tribune of Sunday: Cltizi'nsnf Hriffham stri-tt arc vnry anxious to kep that thoriui;hfare nee from strwt railways. rail-ways. They Kiiy it Ik now the ouly nod ilnve in I be city ami if possible they will alwaya keep tt so. They further say that tt is their lf Iro that Itriyliiiin strei't i-hnil bemnie fur Salt Lake City what Euclid avenue in to the city or Cleveland, ).. arcl by all means v.hi y d'i not want any car lines there. They much prefer to see lino carriages rolling past their pleasant homes. Now I know that tho "citizens" of Brigham street east of Fifth street are, by a "largo majority." in favor of a street railway and are determined that the S. Ii. C. K'y Co. shall build that line or give way to the Kapid Transit. The idea of making this street a grand "Euclid avenue" is vory fine on paper but who is going to put up one hundred thousand hard American dollars dol-lars to accomplish it? The present city council have made a fine drive east as far as the few desire, but the "rest of mankind" have a right to some consideration, consid-eration, and are determined not to wait until Gabriel blows his horn for ''Brig-ham ''Brig-ham street to become Euclid avenue" or a grand boulevard. In the meantime the "rich can ride in chases," but the poor can go afoot by tho way of the S. L. C. K'y on First South street. Biuguam Stuekt. |
