kT meeting Of the Joint Committee
ON Law and Contract, yesterday even
ing, the compromise street-railroad or
dinance was taken up. Col. A. D. Bull
lock, who was present, on being
asked to give his views, stated
that the ordinance was intended to quiet
present litigation. The Consolidated
Htreet Railroad Company was willing to
cut the East and West End line in two
OF Wa alnut street, charging one fare from
Ernst Station to Walnut street, and
one fare from Walnut street to Sports
mans Hall. This would accommodate
the people of the East End. The COM
papy was also willing to give transfer
tfckets on Route No. 8, that would take
passengers from Ernst Station to the
suspension Bridge, the transfer being
made at Fifth and Vine streets. The
Pendleton line had run cars through to
Eportsman's Hall for the term OF tw enty-
one months at single fare, and had lost
500, 900 per year by that policy. When
the rate Of cents cash fare was en-.
forced on Route No. 8, it was found that
they were losing money on both routes,
and so through fare on the Pendleton
line was doubled. He stated IN answer
to an inquiry, that the Consolidated
Street r. r. Company owed the city for
ear license, $500. Solicitor Strong
claims that the amount due is $21 ,000.
The compromise ordinance was made
the special order for the next meeting of
the committee,
