are already covered by other parts of
the ordinance.
The proposal 10 change the word
"single" to ''doubie," referring to the
right of the company In certain streets,

I was carried.

The council, on motion of Alderman
! Mckee, authorized a committee OF five

pense they may see fit. The committee

ton, but they were disappointed. The

which the resolution would have been
offered, If, indeed, 1t was Mr.. Saunders
! intention TO present 1t.
The first four sections OF the street
! railway ordinance were read and
amended. Most of the amendments
were IN the interest of the city against
tho company, and Messrs. Bovine and
I Chapman, of the company, LETT long

unfavorabIe amendments that now
stand IN IT,
The council adjourned at half-past
