railway in the city, and under the franchise
began the work OF track-lsyipg, abou
week since, without any hind |
rance from the rr6-existing corporation,
Galveston City Railway, until to-day, when |
the forces OF both companies met at the
corner OF Twenty fourth street and avenue |
.. the latter road having begun work on
the same street under n franchise acquired |
through the Peoples railway, which cor
poration they absorbed about ten years
ago. The franchise acquired was never
exercised by the City railway company |
In all particulars, and was by some
regarded as having, been Tor
ieited by reason Of failure Ia
asserting their rights within reasonable |
time. This evening Colonel w. II. Sin.
