sage: COUNCIL. BLUFFS, la., March 17. 1
To the Honorable Members of the City
Council. Gentlemen: I herewith return to
you document No. 919, being an ordinance
entitled "Arj ordinance providing for the
vacation of certain streets and alleys In
the city of Council Bluffs, la., and the
conveyance of the same to the Mason City
A Fort Dodge Railway company and other
abutting owners, and denning the condi
tions thereof," for the following reasons:
I do not think the Interests ot the south
em part of the city have been sufficiently
fruarded In this ordinance. The same sl
ows the railroad to build tracks clear
to the easterly line of South avenue, and
If they are ao built It will seriously damage
the same aa a thoroughfare, and being
the principal avenue leading Into the city
from the south and southeast, every pre
caution should be taken to limit the danger
to teama from trains and switch engines,
I think the further consideration of this
mailer woum oevnop means y wnicn mis
danger could be limited. As the matter
.H. h. h.i n ,,
matter would develop means by which thla
southern part af the city may be seriously
Injured, and travel and trade diverted from
the city. Respectfully
VICTOR JENNINGS. Mayor.
