The Committee OH Ordinances reported
that they had the ordinance under copsilera.
tion, but were unable 10 reach any conclusion,
and requested further time, rs the majority
OF the members OF the Committee desired TO
visit the ground In question and view II, In
company with the City Surveyor. Some dis.
cussion arose on this question, pending which
DR.. Wingerter offered n resolution that The
matter Of laying the ten.inch main on North
Main street be referred to the Water Board
which motion prevailed. ar..soaE'
A motion was made and carried that the
report Of the Ordinance Committee be re-
ceived and filed. Mr.. Dunning moved that
the ordinance be taken up. Adopted.
The Clerk then commenced the second
reading Of the ordinance, and each section
was thrown open for amendment. Mr.. Kim.
berry thought that there ought 10 be several
additional stipulations In the interests OF the
city. He offered IN amendment requiring
tho T., W. Il Ky. company 10 complete It's
extension 10 the southern limits OF the city
by January /, 1881.
The amendment was adopted. s
The same gentleman offered another
amendment requiring the transfer of all
yard business now done on the wharf TO the
south side OF the creek.as soon as the extern
sion is completed.
This was also adopted. grUpln.
Mr.. Kimberly then proposed an addition.
al amendment requiring The two railroad
companies to approve tie provisions OF the
ordinance by vote OF their Board OF Direc.
tors before having force, the ratification to
be authenticated by the scals Of the COM.
panies.
This amendment was rejected.
Mr. Baker then moved TO reconsider the
vote by which the second amendment was
adopted, and this prevailing, it was further
moved 10 table the amendment. Lost. The
amendment was then again adopted.
Mr.. Hoffman moved 10 strike out forty
feet and insert twenty-five, In the second Sec
ton, providing that the p, ". & Ky. might
run within twenty-five feet west OF the b 4
o. This OF course would vitiate the entire
agreement, as this was restoring the very
state OF facts 10 which the b. & o. Company
objected, and out OF which the litigation
arose which it is now desired 10 end by q
compromise.
Nj. Kimberly offered rs substitute for
this amendmen: the following:
"For and in consideration of these grants,
be II provided further, that the b. & o. ruil-
road agree 10 n joint use OF Its tracks with
other companies, they TO receive proper
compensation, 10 be determined by the Otii.
GERS OF the company, and when they fail so
to agree, then the rate TO be fixed by arbitr,i.
ton, one arbitrator TO be appointed by each
Of the companies, and the third by the Mayor
OF the city of Wheeling" -s's,
The substitute was accepted BY Mr.. IfofI.
man, but the Branch refused to adopt it.
DR.. Jepson offered the following as m adj
ditonal section to the ordinance, and it was
adopted:
"SEc. 3. It is further condition OF this
ordinance that II at any time after the said
B. & 0. Railroad Company has commenced TO
use for its tracks and business the space
aforesaid between its present track and the
track or tracks of the T., ". & Ky. Railroad

tween the said creek and the Nail City boat
house, any outlets for public use or travel to
the Ohio river over the said space and the

roat Company shall become necessary (of the
necessity OF which outlets the Council OF said
city shall be the sole judge the said COM
pany shall at once provide therefor by
making, ut their own expense, openings
under or crossings over their respective
tracks, to the satisfaction OF said Council,
and shall not thereafter obstruct said outlets
