ureS reduced.
Aid. Yoerg moved its acceptance.
Aid. Melady protested against the
ordinance being brought before that
meeting, after the discussion upon it
had been postponed at the last meeting
to the next regular meeting of the
council. This was merely an adjourned
meeting.
The president pointed out that the
franchise had been partially changed.
AID. Gehan-Then it is new ordi-
nance, and after we spent so much time
on the old one | think this franchise
should be considered by the committee
OIL streets before we take definite action.
Aid. Melady added that the council
ought to respect the wishes of the peo-
pie of West st. Paul, and they should
first be consulted as to the passage of
the ordinance. | understand they are
opposed to an electric elevated railroad
running past their houses, and
1 DON'T BLAME THEM.
Aid. Minea-Only four or five parties
along the route of the proposed line re-
fused to sign petition in its favor.
Aid. Yoerg-Question.
Aid. Gehan urged that Aid. Sanborn
had moved at the last meeting that the
discussion on this ordinance should be
postponed until the next regular meet
ing. If this was not the same franchise
1t was the same company, and he vigor-
ouSly opposed the subject being brought
UP.
Aid. Yoerg-Question.
The president ordered the city clerk
to call the roll on the suspension of the
rules, which was carried, the yeas being
MeSSrS. Blom, Book, Cullen, COnley,
Fischer, Hamm, Leithauser, Minea,
Pratt, Sanborn, Weber, Yoerg, Bickel

Aid. Yoerg moved an amendment alter
ing the time within which the deposit
$25, ,000-had, to be made from six to four
months, and this was seconded by Aid.
Sanborn.
Aid. Melady-Mr President, would
add an amendment to that, if they get
the right of way to build this elevated
railroad, the company be instructed to
put station at every street crossing.
[Laughter.l
Aid. Yoerg's amendment was adopted
by a vote of IA to 2.
Aid. Yoerg further moved an amend
ment making it imperative on the COM
pany paying for their franchise on the
acceptance of the ordinance, instead of
in the completion and operation of the
railway. AS the ordinance stood, the
city would not derive an income for
seven or eight years.
Aid. Gehan-It seems to me that the
aldermen from West st. Paul have got
this thing
DOWN PRETEY FINE.
Laughter They have got their cor
rections made on the old ordinance in
red ink, and they know just where to
change it. Laughter. 1t is unfair to
come here and throw upon this meeting
an ordinance about which some of the
aldermen are entirely in the dark.
question the legality of the proceedings.
Laughter.
Aid Sanborn-Question.
Aid. YOerg-If Mr.. Gehan had taken
as much trouble in looking this up as
have he would have voted for it as
have done.
Aid. Melady still thought the ordi-
nance should be allowed to go before
the citizens and let them understand its
5 provisions before the council took def
mite action. Some ratepayers even OPP
posed drinking fountains being erected
in their streets. Laughter.
The amendment was carried, IA to 2.
Aid Sui san moved that the deposit
be incref kJ from S25,Cc0 to $4,000.
Aid. SaSL0rn hoped that Mr. Sulli
