tionAble TO both companies because Of the
neeeaaity Of ctolelng tracks, which obiee.
llon can be avoided by granting the Jnnc.
ton company right OF way down
the right bank 70 q point
near EoH street and across the stream
10 point near ArbsUE furniture factory,
thus allowing them TO 20 under Market

AZ an additional Argument In rapport oil
this routs We remind You that the repre-
SBntatiVea Of tho u. & o. some three yORTg
ago surveyed Toute from e point Gt the
bead OF Nineteenth EtIeet and down Haid
direct; At that Tina they were desiious Of
having said right OF way granted them,
which u evidence thEG such routg was
practicable. II that route was practicable
and desirable at that time II Ia equally %
now.
1t is not out Of place here to state that
II Is undentood that Mr.. Clements, OF the
Baltimore & Ohio, has said to members Of
your body that the Junction Railroad
Would DO willing " build y switch down
the right bank Of the creek to reach the
various factories on that bank. We may
conclude from this that II II be practical
to build such . switch II 10 equally psac'
teal to build their main linS on the same
route. And situated Rs this city lie, 1t d
only the part Of prudence TO hold IN re-
serve Tor the future every available route
In the city.
For these TelaonE-prot0Csion TO city

making available property that 10 now

desirable inlet into the city, enabling
the gas workB 10 cheaper tho cost oil gas
and for other reasons which will be pre-.
sented 10 you, we suggest that Council
pas = resolution to the effect that II the
Junction Company will furnish plano FOL
line Is designated, down the Right bank
Of the creek, instead Of down the left
bank, as has been propoEed, s1ch right Of
way Rs the city can give viii be granted
and providing further in said
resolution that II the Junction Company
roiuBeB TO accept tho proposed route down
the right bank within reasonable time
that the Wheeling 4 Harrisburg shGll b
offered the Bame right Of way for m add
tional track, 90 that In any event the
property on tho right bank Of the creek
will be protected and have the benefit Of
q railroad. This right Of way 10 to be
conditional on the latter company allow.
ing other roads the uso Of thu lines in nc.
coFlRnce with the ordinance already
passed granting the company the right Of

We have NO desire 10 throw any OBJ

Upon the reading Of this motion was
made to refer the Bsltinors q Ohio or.
dinance baCk to tho Railroad Committee
for report as 10 the matters contained In
the communication, which was done,
The Baltimore & Ohio representatives
were evidently put ont 9Tes this tHfR Of
affairs, for they lett the chamber soou
alter, looking anything but plee1Hnt.
In the Second RsRnch the Wheeling !
Harrisburg ordinance IVES pat through
without quOBtIon. Mr.. Cruise did make q
suggestion that az the Baltimore K Ohio
ordinance had been referred back to the
committee this ordinance should also be
referred back, bat this did not meet With
approval,
