against substantial, solid earth and

with the chances of its never requiring

We feel confident. however. that the
soot sense of the citizens will
come to the rescue of the town and
prevent such a monumental mistake

CITY DUILDING LINED.
Editor of Tile sentinel: g
What has become of the public spir~
lied men of our city?
Isn‘t It time that they should arouse
from sleep. and to the fact that too
many of our remaining beauty spots
are being destroyed by the ruthless
hand of man? .
That any one could seriously object.
‘to the establishing a building line is
astonishing. Some of our streets are
very narrow; here the line should be
maintained. certainly.
West street is acknowledged to be
one of our beautiful residential streets.
It Is so, for the mason that it is
broad, following the natural and grace-
ful curves of the hills. and is lined by
beautiful trees. and in places. wide
lawns. Not one of the trees did the
city put out. The houses are set back
some 70 or more feet from the street.
New to break up the uniformity of
this line by allowing‘housea farther
front, no matter how well built and
good the houses may be. is to destroy
the symmetry and beauty of the street.
it has been suggested by interested
parties that the property owners on
the street buy up the land in question
But why should they? The city owns
the street. not the property owners on
it. They are heavy tax payers. Have
they no right others are bound to rots
cl.
I understand that those in opposi-
tion to the line proposed have a per-
sonal axe to grind. Let them grind by
all means. but they should not expect
others whose Interests are at stake to
help.
