MAYORS MESSAGE AND THE CRY PASSENGER RAIL
Way esterday that portion OF the Mayors Mes
sage referring to the City Passenger Hallway was
the theme of very general discussion, and his
Honor's views were very generally approved. The
suggestion that the city should commence a chan
Gerry suit against the company and secure the trans
fer of the road into the hands of n receiver meets
with the entire appreciation OF the community
Any measures which would tend to an Interruption
of the running of the cars would meet with serious
opposition. The recommendation OF the Mayor
that the cars should be allowed to run on Sunday
at certain hours for the purpose of carrying
to the City Park, was also very well received and
with few exceptions approved. The Message as a
whole meets with great favor.
