Show RAILWAY with a whole mountain of the finest gravel east of us connected with the street railway it would seem that an outlay of a few hundred dellara dc llara the city could at least grade center street and east main from the depot t the central building such a moe would not only be of incalculable bena att to the citizens and enhance the interest of our lovely city but it would also furnish a little employment and en courage an enterprise the street railway the projectors of which have been grossly outraged by small pessimists the above ia from our esteemed neighbor across the block in ona respect we agree with our friend the streets and sidewalks ought te be graded we desire however to ask wherein tho projectors of the street railway havo been rosaly outraged by small pessimists and who these small pessimists are if the city council is referred raf erred to in such terms we desire to defend them the granting of a free franchise through the principal streets of our city to auch a nui as aba railway with its smoking and noisy dummies ia itself an act that characterizes our city fathers with a great deal of but when we consider that they have not reeked that franchise entirely in diw of the fac that for two years that street railway has only been an obstruction in the streets rather than a benefit to the public stamps them in our estimation as truly mag nimons we rather think that the projectors of the provo street railway have grossly outraged themselves the line that runs to the mountain of gravel thai the dispatch talks about is a fair sample of how they managed the road they knew fally wll that there was no gravel at the mountains baab where they proposed building a track and the lina was run simply to benefit real estate andin the interest of a few real estate men when they oa 01 to the mountain they found that if gravel were obtained they would have to junoel for i as it is not in sight a they called gravel would be of no service on our streets unless some small cobble stones could ba mixed with it andee think tha city council has acted wisely in not having it put on the streets or sidewalks |
