zens generally was unusually large.
The session consumed nearly four hours,

larger scale than they are at present, was
read and adopted. 1t is expected that the
works will be moved quite soon to this site,
which is admirably located and very acces-
sible. Ii is near Maury cemetery and en-
braces over two acres.

The Street Committee reported an ordi-
nance providing for the widening of Co
wardin avenue to fifty feet by cutting u
strip from the lots on the north side. The
estimated cost of the Improvement is about

upon some time ago.

chester Railway and Improvement Com
pany (Mayo's- bridge car line) consumed
the greater part of the evening.
A large delegation was present in connec-
tion with this matter and Major Benjamin
II. Nash and ex-Mayor John L. Taylor ad-
dressed the Council briefly on the subject.
advocating the granting of the franchises
asked for.
The provisions OF the paper were dis
cussed pro and con by members or the
Council. several immaterial amendments
were tackled 10 1t. and then the ordinance
was adopted.
The ordinance, besides extending the
time until July, 1890. in which it is required
that cars shall be run on Hull street, where
the track has been laid nearly two years, au-
thorizes the company to build and operate
It's railway up Decatur street TO 1wentleth,
and thence TO Hull. The company, under
Its original franchises. which have not Deen
at all changed, has the right to use Deca-
tur street from Seventh to 1weiftn,
Twelfth to McDonough, and McDonougn
to Cowardin avenue. Now it has the right
70 build both lines or either of them.
