REGULAR MEETING COMMUNICATION Members of the Common Council FEBRUARY 1954 I see where the New York Central kept their part of the bargain that was promised use But I am quite sure that without your cooperation we would never see the Deiselts this soon. There were times when we gave up hope of ever seeing Deisels put in for switching out on the west side, but with your whole support we have, and its really hard to believe. I do think that this will make our neighborhood -more liveable and cleaner for our youngsters to grow up in. I want to thank one and all of your gentlemen for the wonderful help you gave us. Also the Chief of Police for the grand support he gave by posting his men out here on duty every week. Respectfully, Mr. & Mrs. Ed. Spyehals ki and the Ladies of the West side.
