Miller moved that the resolution be referred to the Board of Public Works and street committee and that they bring in estimates of cost. Carried. By Aid. Mann: Whereas, On the 15A day of September, 1890, there was presented to this council a petition purporting to be signed by property owners and residents on Packard street asking this council to authorize the laying of a street railway 011 said Packard street, and Whereas: Said petition was signed by only two residents on said Packard street, one of whom has since made affidavit that her signature to said petition was obtained by misrepresentations and falsehood, and Whereas: Said petition misrepresents the property owners and residents on said Packard street, and Whereas: Said Packard street is but sixty feet wide from fence to fence, and the borders or extensions in said street, authorized by this council are thirty-two feet in width and a street railway track, if laid, will require ten feet more in width of said street, thus leaving but nine feet on each side of said railway, for passage way and gutters, rendering it impossible for a vehicle to stand in front of the property of the residents on said street without totally obstructing travel thereon, and Whereas: At the junction of Packard and Main streets the ground slopes to the south in such a manner that the laying of a street railway track from said Packard street north on Main street will greatly damage said street as a highway, therefore Resolved: That said Street Railway Co. be requested to select some other route for a track from the western terminus of Grove street to the court house, and thus prevent the serious obstruction to travel which would result from laying this track in so narrow a street as Packard street. Aid. O'Mara moved that the resolution be laid upon the table. Yeas - Aid. Martin, Herz, Snow, Valker, O'Mara, Miller, Taylor, Hall, Pres. Howlett - 9. Nays - Aid. Dieterle, Mann, A. F. Vlartin - 3.
