Seward St. Extension
Protests on the proposed im- (
provement of Seward Street to the
Pacific Coast Company dock were
made by several property owners
on Front Street. Those speaking|
in protest were E. P. Pond, Dr. !
Robert Simpson. Dave House!, John
H. Biggs, W. D. Gross and J. J. i
Connors, Jr. The protests were
based on the presumption that an
improved street directed straight up
Seward Street from the dock would i
direct tourist trade from property I
owners on Front Street. The Coun- j
cil voted unanimously to reject
any proposal for the continuation
of Seward Street which would cost
the city any money whatever.
