STREET RAILWAYS.
Tho ordinance giving the right Of way On
Wentworth aVeuue from Thtrty-uin:h and Sixty
hrat Streets to the Chicago l. Englewood Horse
and bunny Hallway Company (not the Drake-
Dunnlng-Young combinatlon) was then read,
and, after few changes, was adopted. The
ordinance Was drawn up yefy strictly, and pro-
v1daa that th5 cars sha4 be operated By horse
power only and on single track with necessary
switches on the east side Of the street that no
other cars except their own shall be run upon their
tracks. and for every violation Of this clause, a
flue OF $50 will be charged. The Board reserves
the right to regulate the speed OF the CARS and
their running time. The rate Of fare for single
trip Nlu be S cents, while communication tickets
will be issued. by which single passage over
the road can be had for cents. The ordinance
also compels the Company to complete the en-
tire road by May Is. 1875. and that part between
Fortyseveuth ana Sixty first streets, by jan: IL.
Thus ehectnally closes the war between the
two companies OF similar names and unless
Mess1s. Drake, Dunnins, Young i 20. take
new route, they will hare to postpone their
chances Of q railway on Wentworth avenue.
1t is now rumored among the knowing ones
that the Chicago City Railway Company will
not lay = track or operate lta cars under
the right Of way which tile Board granted last
Saturday, owing to hhe sttiueency Of tbs pro-
visions. special Meeting OF the Directors OF
the company will be held to-morrow, when they
