jewel—the pride of SouthA Street was resented by residents of Rich-
mond at large and its loss to the owner, is irreparable.
In regard to the anticipated plan of placing a transformer in front
of my property at 616 S.A St, I am appealing to the Board of Works t
reconsider the matter. As it appears oto me, the location of the venti
lators on the sidewalk will not only be obnoxious bu dangerous and a
possiaae nuisance for future business requirements where my property
is concerned. -
Should it be possible to grant my request without serious Inconven-
ience to your plans,may I depend upon you: fair and just judgment an
generous co-operation in offering me some material consideration for
11 the loss of the " Sentinel of South A Street as -well as the conveni en.e
of the location of the transformer with the assurance in writing,
that there will be no risk, restriction or damage, whatsoever, to be
suffered by me, in the future as the result of the proposed improve-
.ment to the City and Lunicipal Electric Light Company
Awaiting your reply, I remain, -
Respectfully yours,
