Horse and Dummy Companies is partly to blame
for the grant, but the main Cause ia to be found
elsewhere In addition to paper from Albert
Colvtn giving them the right to lay track any
where in the town, they also pre-
sented witnesses to prove that the
Board OF 1868 gave them clear
charter. The Board thought under these
conditions. they could not do better than avoid
legal trouble and give the Chicago City Railway
Company the right to lay q ceEtain route under
proper restrictions bulky ordinance granting
the rightswaa passed, allowing the Company to
lay and operale horse~cars on State street to
S1ty-frs. street, thence west to Wentworth Nv
enue, thence soath to Si1tS-thi1d street, thence
west to Stewart avenue, thence south to Sixty
first street. The ordinance apecialy provides that
two-horse cars, with driver and under the charge
of a conductor, only shall be run, aud that the
fare for any distance on the route shall ba only
cent? trip: In order to enectually silence all
doubts Of the desire Of the Company to sell their
right to steam railway, the ordinance stipulates
that horsepower only shalt be used, aud that
the Company shall never allow any other cor
poration to run on their tracks, and will only use
their own cars. The load must be indicted to
Si1ty-h1st street within Elk months, and accord

able to Ilda downtown in q borse-car. The en-
tire road must be finished by Oct, l. 1876, OF the
ordinance will be null and void
