course would seem TO he to pass an ordinance |
through its first aud second readings authorize
ing tho widening OF Water street in such man
ner aud for such distance as the Council may |
deem requisite and proper, and to direct by re-
solution that town meeting be called at such |
time and place as is deemed proper. Public
notice of the time, place and object OF tho meet
ing should be given in the usual mode and the
notice must he given in reasonable time, say ten
days.
At the City meeting, the irecholders and per-
sons entitled to vote must bya majority of those
present either pass or reject resolution au-
and giving the consent Of the meeting
to the proposed ordinance.
If authorized by the meeting the Oouncilmay
then lawfully make andpass the ordinance, and
the authority to act under 1t will be complete,
Proceedings may then be taken in accordance
with the 23d Sec. of tho law oflast session, for
condemn lg the land requisite TO be condemn
cd for the purpose Of opening the street as wi
dened by the ordnance, and after condemna-
ton, two months are allowed within which to
pay or tender the damages to the owners.
In the interim between the final passage of
the ordinance and the condemnation OF the
lands, would recommend that the Council
appoint committee to confer with the Presi-
dent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad Company, and inform him
fully and frankly Of the steps taken, and in
tended to be taken, and state also the sum of
money which the Council expects and requires
the Railroad Company to pay for the right OF
passage for the railway through the street,
subject to such restrictions as to speed, and
proper limitations upon the tiae OF stopping
where train on the track stops so as to cross
and obstruct in whole or in part one OF the
north and south streets, as the Council may
deem requisite.
II reasonable arrangement with the Rail-
road Company can be effected, all that viii then
remain will be the payment Of tho damages to
the owners and the actual opening OF the
street. II no arrangement which the Council
can assent to can be effected, then would re-
commend that the committee be authorized to
address written comu, unica,ion to the Rail
road Company setting forth clearly and fully
the position of atfiirs between the City OF
| Wilmington and the Railroad Company stating
the course which the Councilintends to pursue
and vindicAting the legality, rcasonableness
md liberality Of that course, and this commit
nication if necessary to be made, should then
| be published.
The Council may then proceed, after the
| years notice has expired to annul the exist
| ing agreement for joint occupation of Water
| street within certain limits, to pay the danla-
| ges to the property h lders us assessed under
| the proceeding previously taken. The urdi-
| nance of May 10th, 1885, may bo and ought
to be repealed al all events, as it can be prop
erly supplied IL an arrangement is made, and
| ought not to stand on the ordinance Book
| nnrepealed as understand the prOvisO has nevel
been acted upon or complied with.
The Council, after the expiration by notice
| Of the rgretment between tho city and the
Railroad Company may if no satisfactory ar
,Fangement be made with the COmplny-pas'
an ordinance prohibiting under heavy penal
ty the use of Locomotives through Water
street or within the limits of the city, or !
preferred, regulate the speed so as TO reduce
it to two miles an hour or less, and may lm
the number Of railway tracks and mode OF lay
ing the same, which can be laid through Wa
ter street restricting the Comp my to one tract

it is at least questionable whether tho Council
ctnnot lawfully prohibit the use OF riilwa.
track through tnat part Of Water street whlc'
vas public highway when the track of tn
railway was first laid, and direct I rail
between Walnut and Orange streets to be re
moved.
do not however anticipate that tho cours
II the Railroad Company, will be so unreason
Ibe as to drive the Council TO such an eX
IRENE measure Tor the purpose of protecting
the right Of the public to USE Water street a
highway for general purposes.
