Wherever the petition or ordinance accom-.
pan1ying 1t stopped, thenlthere was o Fight,
and these fights were all warm Every
one grew tired Of the racket and longsd
Tor 1t to cease. Whether the railroad com.
panies will accept the ordinance as passed
remains to be seen; II is the ordinance

Der, greatly dis6suled. 1t is believed,
however, that tho ordinance will be accept.
ed, as 1t Is partly In the nature Of com.

smith were the absentees. : The reports
from tho joint Railroad and Ordinance
COMMITTEES were !raken up. The msjority
report, signed by Mr.. G. 0. Smith as chair.
man, reported that theadoption Of the ord:.
nance granting to the Baltimore g. OLio a
right OF way along the south side of the
creek would be detrimental to the best in.
terests oi the city; as it would virtually de-.
stfoy facilities for travel on Main, and to a
certain extent on Msrketstreet; the tunnel
route, in the estimation Of the msjo,ity, was
Lees objectionable and ofgreater benefit to
the city. u yi'.F- d. u. ~
