DULUTH, Mimi, April 5.-City Attor-
ney Smith has submitted to Mayor SUIT
phin a copy of the proposed terminal
railway ordinance. The city attorney
thinks he has put all possible safe
guards around it to prevent possible
seizure for speculative purposes. The
road must be opened on equal terms
to all roads now or hereafter entering
Duluth. The railway shall be subject
to such reasonable rules as shall make
its use as easy and cheap as similar &C
commodations can be offered either IN
Minnesota or Wisconsin. The charges
to other roads shall be based upon the
actual cost of service, so that all shall
enjoy equal privileges on equal terms;
The company shall make detailed
statement to the council semi-annually
as to the number of miles of road Oper-
ated. the cost of operation in detail, and
this statement must be sworn to by the
president, secretary, treasurer and au-
ditOr of the terminal railroad company.
If it appear at any time that any road
shall have been Disseminated against
in the matter of tariff or handling
freight, the charter of the company
shall forever be forfeited to the city.
Public travel must not be interfered
with. Work must be commenced
within year after the grant
ing of the charter. The OPP
ponents of the terminal railroad scheme
now take the ground # dellberatlon,
and want to hear something OF the eXpe-
rience of other cities before progress
ing. They think copies of other ordl-
nanceS should be consulted, and say
little delay may save the city trouble
and inestimable danger for the future.
