OF the 30th ultimo, contains AN admirable
pictorial burlesqus of proposed street
railway recently authorized by the Com
mon Council of that city. The ordinance
grants to certain parties the exclusive right
for forty years of laying down street rail
way tracks in the city of Peru; stipulates
that the city officials shall be allowed to
eide on the cars upon the same conditions
as private parties; provides for the laying
of rails to the Council Chamber, which, il
is expected, will much facilitate the
operations of the City Fathers.
