The railroads west OF Chicago have adopted
a new plan for carrying out their policy o.
granting reduced rates, on certain OCCASION,
to delegates attending large meetings
conventions. This new plan makes it neces
sary for the person who is a delegate to q
meeting for which reduced rates have been
granted, to procure from the ticket agent Of
whom he purchases his ticket for the poin
at which such meeting is TO be held, re
ceipt for the amount of fare 30 pad. This
receipt, when filled out and countersgned
by the secretary Of the convention, becomes
a certificate, which, when presented to ticket
agent by the person to whom it was origi-
nally issued, will entitle such person to a re.
turn ticket at one-third the regular fare, pre-.
vided reduced rates have been granted be-
forehand by the railroads for this occasion
As no benefit can be derived from such
reduction in rates unless this plan is fol-
lowed, our readers will do we'll to bear this
in mind.

The regrl monthly meeting of the "ei,y

tame affair No business of more than ordl'
nary importance was transacted, except I'll,
passing of two ordinances prepared by City
Attorney Trenary: one railroad ordinance,
requiring the railroad companies to provide
gates at the city street crossings where the
company's track crosses--the Burlington "a
put in gates on Maine, Madison, Jefferson
and Lafayette streets, and the Rock Island
on La Sale and Columbus streets and the
Dayton road.
The other ordinance authorizes the ex.
tending Of East St. George street TO Guion
street, after proper condemnation proceed
ings in the County Court have been taken.
The bills presented and audited were very
light, amounting to but S2,2l9.9l. which
amount included 5000 attorneys fees in de-
Tending the case of Moioney v. The Cty Of
Ohapa, and also one of S7i.SO, presented
by the Citizens Committee for entertaining
