the right to make its own arrangements. ii tue

done to secure the adoption of more favorable
terms towards our city. Mr. llollingsworth
said he could not see why the same privileges
and courtesies that are extended towards per

extended toward our citizens. The Company
had been gtauted privileges and there were no
good reason why there should not be some recip-
rOcat0 action on their part.
