!. = Dygert; Il think that the oOun-
Gil should act promptly IA giving Tie
cattle company what they asA Tor. They
have sunk large amount OF money
and u sohld Ii no credit a. the ely Ia
force them into the hands oi a receiver.
Every citizen ln the Fourth wsrd, and
in fact, the whole hill people have heen
greatly benefited by the cable oom-
pany. and /, for one, hope that the
council Will be Liberal Ia their dealings
With them aud not emhaTrass them
With restrictions that would prevent
their acceptance OF an ordinance"
Julius Friedrich: Il have pad very
little attention TO the matter, hut |
should think Il would not be Wise 90
ask a company 60 Try 10 Dc business III
a way that would lose J. money con
stsntiv."
James r. Mcbride; 81 really have
not paid the attention Ia the details OF
the matter that would make my opin-
lOn very conclusive one. ! can SAY
however, IN a general WAY, that one Of
tile best crlteIlOns OF the pubic interest
lies IN the condition of the company
Ii ought TO 10 without saying. that the
better the company's business eau be
made, the larger is the pubic that Is
being accommodated. think the
council ought 10 give the company
every concession consistent with the
public safety and the public nights.
Let Liberaiity Prevail
A. y. Albee: al should think it
would be very good idea for the coun-
Gil 10 be very liberal with them. We
must have street railways, and If II il
demonstrated that old arrangements
are burdensome, tnen lei new arrange
ments be adopted"
Frank NJ. Williams: These men
have put their money INTO these roads
IN good faith, and are trying 10 accom-
modatc the people rs well as benefit
themselves. / think they ought 10 be
given any reasonable opportunity 10
turn themselves. The public surely
can not make anything by cramping
the company down so close that IL can
not make any money"
Joe kortlander: II should favor the
largest measure of lberality, bnt at
the same time the shifting of old
routes of travel might work great
detriment TO established business. Ii
ls an injustice 10 business that has
grown up with Difference 10 certain
street car accommodation TO have that
accommodation taken away. With
this kept IN view, / say let the COM
pany have what will put IT on lis feet.
or rather so that il can make a success
of its enterprises"
Thomas Doran: al am willing 10
stretch point III favor OF people who
have left IN our streets from half
million TO million dollars, provided
that the Interests OF the people are well
guarded. There was mistake IN ex-
tending these franchises 1T a time when
competitor led them both 10 grasp for
possession of the streets without re-
ference 10 the real business situation.
Where company does not make a
cent the people are not benefited. IL
the business does not pay, the whole
thing is drag on the community and
everybody else. l am in favor of a
wise liberallty towards the company
suffice 10 give them an opportunity 70
get back some of their losses"
Solid Men Speak to the Point.
Joseph lIouseman: "The street rail
way COMPANY should toe treat ;d liber-
allY by the city. They have got their
money in and should be gwen a chance
10 slve themss Ives. They have coniTl-
buted 10 the growth of the city and ]
look upon them as a b.cs.irg Tat
should be encouraged, for transit
whether raj III or otherwise, is a neces-
sary factor IN a city that would grow
! and be prosperous"
Henry Spring: "The people expect
the company 10 do that which : unrea-
sonable and impracticable. For the
next twenty-five years, IN my opinion
the people will derive more benefit
from the company than the company
will from the people. This 70 true be-
cause the city Is not yet large enough
To accommodate itself to a thoroughly
improved and perfect system. Ii il
possible for a man or woman &c
ride from ten 10 fifteen miles
: on the city railways at an expense oi
10 or 20 cents. If enough people rode
even at this rate, Il might pay; but the
receipts of the companIes, Judging from
past experience, are the opposite Of en-.
couraging. IL was a foregone conclu
SION that the cable railway woulc not
pay, and now il seems 10 me that The
company should receive liberal treat
ment: because the people and not tbs
company Is TO profit by change oi
service.
, Nothing unressopshle tn he Ask-t
+. T.. Pplte: 81 have not given the
matter much thought. The city should
not compel q company TO suffer loss
Nothing unreasonable should be asked
of the Street Railway Company nc
more than from 3 private individual
We ought TO have RAPID tran
SIT, and there should he nc

!. X. Rosentbal; The street railway
are the poor mans carriages; thes
