nature OF the Mayor being put to the bill providin
for the same.
Upon offering the resolutions. Mr.. Thomas a,
dressed the meeting at considerable length.
recapitulated the objections already advance
against the measure and stated that it was not fo
| the public welfare and convenience that it wa
sought to be carried out but to, further the END
OF the railroad company. He said the bill ha
| passed the Council under the act of the Legi:
! lature of 1898, which authorized the Mayor an
CITY Council to close all thoroughfares, provide
| 1t could be shown that in so doing the pub
| lie welfare and convenience were promoted; and G
| ted as proof that the object of the act was bein
the, present large and enthusiastic Assem-
blage of the oppositon-residents of that immediat
neighborhood, who alone could be benefited or in
Jured. Mr.. Thomas detailed the acts passed by til
| Legislature for the government of the Batimor
and Ohio Railroad Company, and in conclusion. as
| serted that their very act of incorporation, an
| whlch gives the Company power to lay down track
IN the CITY, provides that none of the thoroughfare
| shall be closed.
In answer to a CALL Mr.. Woods, of the Firs
Branch of the City Council, next addressed tn
| meeting. He thought it improper for member o
| the Council to interfere in the matter at so late
stage, but obeying the call of his ellow-citizens h
| could not but respond. He told the assembly tha
when they came into contest with the Baltmor
and Ohio Railroad it was to fight against a mighty
| power, able to sweep every thing before it. Tn,
| bill passed the Council, he thought because th
members were of the opinion that the city would b.
Denehtted. 1t was in opposition to his views
/
did others, but the friends of the company were too
| strong As the only remedy at present available
| he advised the meeting to go to the Coun
| Gil and Mayor, and urge their claim and demand
| their rights. He told them go to the Mayor to
morrow, and in earnest manner press the matter
With the Mayor, he said, they could best prevail
| because with him 'the longest pole knocks dow1
| the most perSimmOns." He pronounced the pass
age of the bill 'great and horrible outrage upor
the rights of persons and property" and promised
that if the Mayor did not veto the BILL he woulC
bring the matter up in Council again next ses
| sion.
| Mr.. Balm, of the First Branch, answered call il
few remarks, and after the appointment of a com
mittee of five to present the preamble and resolu
| tions (Which were adOpted) to the Mayor, the
meeting dispersed.
