Mr.. Heard-Bnt If you agree TO the
terms II can then be shaped up as the
City Solicitor may see 6t.
DR.. Campbell am willing TO send II
90 Council as the final conclusion-as
the quintesSence Of all these sessions.
Mr.. Irwln-But are you willing to
recommend IL?
! DR.. Campbell-No; I'll recommend
nothing.
Mr.. Hail. think the Committee
ought TO recommend something. II ap-
pears to me to be the duty Of the Com
miutee TO put the matter in proper
shape and send it to Council with re-
commentator. l think that is the OBJ
ject Of the appointment Of the Commit
tee.
Mr.. Fsrrell-pm not aware Of it, Mr..
Chairman, has this paper come from
Council?
Mr.. Pollock-Yes; it's the same
thing.
Mr.. Farrell-No; it's not that paper.
The other paper was signed by julius
Pollock.
Mr.. Pollock-How would it do to rec
ommend TO Council to release the Conn
| pany II they guarantee 15c. rate?
| Now, IL that be the sense Of the Com
mittee, why not draw a resolution d.
racting the City Solicitor to amend the
existing ordinance? The ordinance
can't be superseded by meIe reSolu-
ton.
Mr.. Farrell mpressively What
does the city OF Wheeling get for the
use OF her streets and alleys and public
grounds? What is the consideration?
Mr.. Pollock YEARLY The privilege
OF paving them, keeping them clean,
etc.
Mr.. Farrell Itriumphantlyl THE Nat
ural Gas Company OF West virginia
should pay nothing for the privilege OF
traversing them?
Mr.. Pollock Tdespairinglyl-That is
for Council TO say.
DR.. Campbell-That is for Council.
Let us report as we did before. I'm
willing the paper should go to Council.
Mr.. Dunlevy-rd like to ask ques-
ton. Would this paper-this agreement
be binding upon the Company's sue
cessOrs? If we release the Company,
that will make its stock more valuable,
and it might sell out,
DIR. Caddle-Yes, if 10 is so stated.
! Mr.. Dunlevy-YeS, but it don't do 1t
! Mr.. Hesru-We have no right to as
sign. The grant is only to the Natural
Gas Company of West Virginia.
Mr.. Dunlevy-Then that settles that.
Mr.. Farrell-You'll have to repeal
the old ordinance.
Mr. Hearn-No you wouldn't, only
amend it-not repeal il toto.
Mr. Farrell Slyly How do you amend
an ordinance?
Mr.. Hearn-In several ways. You
can amend il generally, or section by
section.
Mr.. Farrell-Yes, with new ordi-
nance.
Mr.. Hearn-You are mistaken.
Mr.. Farrell [triumphantlyl-I don't
think l am.
Mr.. Hearn [sarcasticallyl-That may
be.
Mr.. Irwin move that the paper be
printed, and that a copy be given each
Councilman at the next meeting, ana
that the committee adjourn to meet
next Wednesday Right.
Mr.. Pollock-COuncil meets Tuesday.
| Mr.. Irwin know that.
7 Mr.. Heard wish the Committee
wOuId take this question up. This pa
per came up before Council at the last
session, and they were not willing TO
take IL I'D, and referred it back to the
Committee. Now you want TO send 1t
to Council again. Bring the matter to
an Issue. Either settle 1t one way or
the other-adopt Il, or drop 1t.
DR.. Campbell-It could have been dis
posed of II you had signed the paper
YOU gave Mr.. Pollock, and then have
given it 10 the Committee.
MIR. Heard-You have the paper now,
signed. Why don't you act on 1t?
DR.. Campbell-For the reason that l
don't know anything about the legal
technicalities.
Mr.. Heard-Isn't it entirely possible
for you-having the paper before you
of which you complain-to submit 1t to
the City Solicitor? 1 don't know
whether he is satisfied, and the Com
mittee don't know, either.
DR.. Campbell-NO.
Mr.. Heard-But there is basis there.
Whv not adopt IL, and let the City Solic-
| itor put it In what form you please?
DR.. Compatibility not let him see it
first?
Mr.. Heard-Because that would not
bring about conclusion. There seems
TO be about as many ideas upon this sub
iect as there are members OF the Com
mittee.
DR.. Campbell-I am perfectly willing
10 have the paper come up before Coun-
cil-understand me-but l want it TO
come up after the City Solicitor has pro-
nounced il correct.
Mr.. Beard-Yes; but let the Commit
tee act on the basis, aud then he can
work on ituntil Tuesday. We want to
rise or fall on this business. We want
to 20 TO Council, whether you report or
not. We're going in.
DR.. Campbell-And I'm willing that
you shall.
Mr.. Heard-Oh, yes; but you took US
out when we were in.
DR.. Campbell-Why didn't you sign
the paper?
DIR. Canpbell-But not until it went
IN CounHl, and was referred back.
Mr. Heard can explain that. |
went 10 Mr.. Pollock and told him that
I felt discouraged, and asked him why
we didn't come TO some understanding.
He said the trouble was about the l5c.
clause. / said the Company was willing
To put any guarantee in as to that which
could be gotten in. He then suggested
the paper aud we got it up. We would
have signed it. If necessary, but 1t went
In as Mr.. Poilock's paper, not ours.
We are not afraid TO sign our papers.
New you have the whole question before
Won. and I'd like you to act upon the
