Show Citizens' Protests Bring Action From Railroad Company After numerous protests had been made by Main street property owners own-ers as to the condition of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad right of way, officials of the railroad made an inspection Tuesday and agreed to remedy the condition. Representing the company were Walter Brown, electrical engineer, and H. M. Freidel, auditor. They said that the gravel along the right of way, at either end of the business busi-ness section, would be raked to remove re-move the large rocks, and then an oil preparation would be applied. This will serve temporarily until spring, when an oil mulch will be applied. Due to cold weather, it is too late this fall to improve the right of way with an oil mulch as originally planned under an improvement program pro-gram costing thousands of doDars, the railroad officials indicated. Property owners entered their protests when the right of way was filled in with gravel, and then left in that condition. With heavy travel on the street and right of way, rocks were strewn over the street, and clouds of dust were raised. |
