members say as | have a perfect right

Mr.. McGlilchey-"I arise to point
Of order; the gentleman from the Sec
ond Ward has already occupied the al
loted time of five minutes with his re-
IN arks."
Mr.. r. ii. Taylor--"Tbat is very
kind in the gentleman from the Third
Ward in trying to choke me off with
the five minute rule after having con-
stantly interrupted me with "points of
order" Mr.. Taylor continued his re-
marks n favor of the petition.
Mr.. McGlinchey said that 1t appeared
TO him from the interest some of the en-
ployes were taking in the matter that
there was some crooksdness in it.
President Sharpley arose to speak,
but gave way TO Mr.. K. Ii. Taylor, who
said that although the gentleman from
the Third Ward had not referred to him
directly he had done so indirectly.
Mr., McGlinchey-"Mr. President, /
arise to point of order, l did not refer
to the gentleman from the Second
Ward"
Mr.. r. ii. Taylo--"Tt is true that
am an employe of the railroad company.
have to make my living somewhere,
and return value for all receive from
them. / suppose | t did not suit them
they would not retain me. The gentle
man from the Third Ward is employed
by a certain carriage"
MIR. McGlinchey, (in an excited mau-
nerJ-"I rise TO a point Of order; he
has alluded TO me personally"
The chair raped Mr.. McGlinchey to
order.
Mr.. r. H. Taylor (continuing)-"He
has pl losttuted-"
Mr.. McGlinchey Gin a loud voice)-
"Point of order"
Mr.. X. Ii. Taylor-sI will not allow
myself 10 be choked of as much as de-
pricale personal illusions. The gentle
man has referred 10 me indirectly and
have right to reply"
Mr.. McC linchey insisted on hls point
of order and said "if he is out of order
why not make him sit down, or have
him arrested"
MIR. K. ii. Taylor continued his re-
marks and said I'll am placed in a
very delicate position on this question,
being and employe of the company, but
where there las been one of my con-
stituents called upon me to oppose the
measure, there has been at least tw enty-
five called upon me, aud urged ne TO
vote for the measure. All The property
holders on Front, King, French and
Walnut streets, desire that the petition
shou id be granted, and should be deri-
lict in my duty to them if 4 should op-
pose the measure. II l am directly in-
terested in the matter the gentleman
from the Third Ward has bis redress
when come to vote, by challenging my
vote"
President Sharpley said thathethought
1t his duty not only TO the .citIzens but te
the railroad company to state where he
stood on the matter,
As Water street is laid it is a public
street, and being so the railroad COM
pany have no right and cannot stop pub
lie travel, or to fence the street up, but
every citizen or corporation has right
tofence up the street to the building line
If so disposed, and because a corporation
ask for privilege should it not be
granted as well as TO private individ-
ual?
Mr.. Sharplfy strongly advocated the
adoption of the report and said he had
heard that If the petition was not grant
ed The company would not build the de-
pot. He did not know whether that was
SO or not, but he thought that it would
DO suicidal in Council to put their feet
down on such public Improvement.
This ended the debate and the gues-
ion OF adopting the report was then
put, Mr.. MeGhpchey calling for the
ayes and nays. The report was adopted

Mr.. Paynter moved that that portion
Of the report referring to Vandever
Avenue be laid over one week.
He said that he had signed the report
but since that time he had seen q num-
Der of prominent citizens of the NInVh
Ward and they appeared to be- in favor
Of granting the petition.
Mr.. Barnhil1 said that he had talked
with all the business men in the Ward,
md found them all opposed to it.
Mr.. Merris Taylor moved to amend
he report by striking out all after Van
lever Avenue. The portion referred to
was the recommendation to the COM
oany to use any other street so nth of the
Avenue.
