On motion Of Alderman McHale ap.
proved,
The mayor returned the ordinance, en-
titled IAN ordinance TO provide for the
regulating of railroads within the limits
of the city Of Cairo passed November
14th, 1882, with his objections thereto, viz:
Gentlemen OF the City Council;
return for your further consideration an
ordinance passed at your last regular meet
ing regulating the use Of the streets OF the
city by railway companies
1t is probable that the ordinance relating
to railroads require some amendments; but
l do not think an ordinance SO sweep
ing in its provisions as this one ought to
become law at the present time. l lind
this ordinance when reported by the ordi-
nance committee was endorsed, respect
fully reported back to the city council
without recommendation and signed by
a majority Of said committee. An evidence
clearly that it had not received that careful
scrutiny and consideration which would
warrant them in making any recommenda-
tion.
Ii permission has legally been obtained
by railway company to lay down ana
operate track or tracks upon any OF the
streets OF the city, II seems to me that the
restriction rs to their use should be rea-
sonabe or such AS would not materially
interfere with the public rights thereon.
Under the provisions Of the ordinance un.
der consideration it would be unlawful Tor
any railway company to allow cars !o-stand
on the streets Of the city for any purpose.
! Yet the starting OF the passenger Trans OF
the 81, Louis aud CAIRO railway company
from their depot on Second street Is aeon
venience 10 tue travelling pubic, Tor II they
were not permitted 10 stand their cars their
privilege on Second street would be worth
less, and they would be compelled to aban-
don the street or else leave their track a
deriment TO its public use without any
benefits IN return The same may be said
of the Wabash, Mobile 81 Ohio, and Iron
Mountain roads on Commercial avenue, and
of the Illinois Central on the Levee and
other roads centering here.
If this ordinance is to become a law,
some time should be given in which the
roads could adapt themselves to the change
or else the local business Of the railroads
will be very much interiered with, and n
serious loss 70 the business interest Of this
city. think gentlemen you will carefully
consider this matter, md beg to assure
you that | desire to cooperate with you in
any and all measures that shall tend to
materially advance the prosperity Of our
city. | am yours Respectfully,
n. B. THIsTLEwooD,
Mayor
