OF the friembrfs that i proper respecI
had not been paid 70 Mr.. Kcysere note
10 the committee. Accordingly II was
taken up and with tie accompanying
papers referred to the Committee on
Railroads and the City Solicitor. This
was done.
A vote was then taken on Mr., Hof.
mans amendment, which WAS defeated.
Mr.. Walter offered an amendment to
the Baker resolution, OF this effect: To
appoint committee of six, three from
each br ranch, tn 20 over the route and
estimate the probable damage to the
streets and report to Council; and at the
same time to prepare profile drawing,
showing the altered grades. There was
q slight objection offered, in effect that
the regular committee should attend
to this. 1t was accordingly 30 changed,
and the Mayor and President OF the
Second Branch added 10 it.
The Walter amendment was adopted,
when it was explained by the author
that it Was a substitute for the Baker
resolution
MIR. Hoffman's amendment was then
resurrected as a resolution, and referred
10 the Committee on Railroads. This
disposed OF the matter, and sent 1t COM
piete TO the committee.
