The ordinance to connect the Main
street and San Jacinto railroad tracks
was read the third time, and Alderman
Williams moved that amendment be
made that the company DO obligated to
extend their line on Main to Houston
streets and TO be kept and operated by
the company, Alderman Moroney see
ondlng the amendment and amending
further that the curve be required to
conform To street grades.
Alderman Keller objected that the cx-
tension would prevent the belt or curv e,
rs did also Alderman Smith.
Alderman Cockrell favored Alder
man Williams amendment, and thought
the track should be made to pay
in Its right-of-way for the paving all
along Main street, also to compel tho
road To run To Houston street, while
Alderman Gibson thought there was
nothing in the ordinance on that subject
requiring amendment. Alderman Seay
advanced the idea that the extension
would prevent the belt of the union
and that upon the whole IL would benefit
the greater number to permit the road To
join without the extension. Alderman
Carter wanted to know If the road could
he made To 20 to Houston or Jefferson
street whether they wanted or not, and
thought Ii put the question of allowing
tie curve to depend on the extension.
Tho Mayor read u former ordinance for
fciting their rights If the requirements
of the city, as to running the road, were
not complied with-one section rcquir-
ing tSection D. March 18th, lsSi,) tho

The substitute was lost.
