"SAN ANTONIO. TEX, August 10. lSS9.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board OF Al
dermen: Gentlemen: Herewith mana you an
ordinance granting the right of way TO the ;.
A. Land and Improvement company, but WITH
reference to the Rapid Transit company, and
the Cross Town railway, have not been aDle
to prepare an ordi nance, for the reason that
the rights of way granted to the two compan-
les conflict in this, that In the three routes 10
be granted to the Cross Town company, each
conflict on Avenue Il up to Seventh street with
the Rapid Transit company, and route NO 8 OF
the Cross Town railway is virtually the same
route as the one granted to the Rapid Transit
company. 1t will therefore be necessary Tor
the council to determine to which or the Two
com panies the route shall be granted, or de-
wise some means to avoid conflict, unless the
council desires to allow both companies to lay
their tracks upon the same streets.
Very respectfully,
OSCAR BERGsTRoM, City Attorney"
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Angus 16. 1882
ITO the Hon. Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
GentIemen: With reference to the petition
of Edward Braden, l am of opinion that his
+, quest can be legally granted by the council
provided the sureties on the bond all agree to
it. As to whether Mr.. Hoefiings consent as
given by telegram is suffi Gent, it will be ne
cessary for me to have before me, the tele-
grams sent to him as well as his answers
thereto; but the council can grant the petition,
however upon the condition that the sureties
all consent. and their consent in proper form
can be obtained afterwards, if not already
sufficient. Very respectfully.
OSCAR BERGsTROM, City Attorney"
The ordinance as drafted was the read and
is in accordance with what was asked for by
the Land and Improvement company save in
the matter of gauge.
On motion of Bolton the road was restricted
to carrying passengers,
Bolton moved to make the gauge 4:SIa in
stead of 4, and Lockwood supported the mo.
ton. Amendments were also added which
made the company liable for all damages that
might arise from the road through and over
the streets; also, absolutely prohibiting the
sale of the road to the Arkansas Pass or any
body else without the consent of the council.
All this however was of no arail and Alder
men Connor, Fest, Reimann, Rogers, SartOr
and Wulf voted against tie amendment. This
vote knocked the last hope of Fair transit in
to pi.
The city attorneys report as to the Rapid
Transit and CrOsstOwn roads was referred to
the railway committee of the council.
Braden's petition for relief was laid over
until the return of VIM. Hoefing, which will
be in about ten days.
The council adjourned without calling up
the financial investigation for which his honor
was so hot on Thursday, and as no one seemed
TO know much about the regulations govern |
ing committee the council adjourned without
naming an hour for meeting. 1t is expected
that there will be regular session of the |
council Monday at $50 p. IN.
