council. Mr.. Lowry followed up his
statement with the following:

statement with the following:
In submitting this proposal it is no more
than fair 10 say that in building pavilion
and making these improvements we will be
at a very heavy expense. We expect to carry
a great many people and to derive our rev.
enue from them. The purpose of the trans
fer has practically been subseryed, as all the
working people and those living along these
lines have REACHED their homes by that time.
We do not wish or intend to. carry pleasure
seekers on these lines free of charge.
There was considerable discussion
over the various. propositions, but with
Mr.. Lowry and MI. Goodrich the COM
mittee decided to go out TO Como Park
and make themselves thoroughly ac-
quainted with the propositions in that
part of Mr.. Lowry'S communication.
The afternoon was spent in this way
aid in the evening the committee again
met in the city hall. Mr.. Wolterstorff
presided and there were present Messrs.
Zimmerman, Van Slyke, Warren and
Franklin. The propositions of Mr..
Lowry were considered separately, and
the recommendations to be made by the
committee to the council were decided
upon.
A Firm Stand.
Mr.. Van Slyke moved that the COM
mittee report that citizens would be
benefited by having all electric line
through Como park, as indicated by
MIR. Lowry, the line to be kept fifty feet
south of the driveway, Mr.. Lowry to be
given the right of way providing he
agrees to give a reasonable street car
service to the park.
This was agreed to. Mr.. Franklin
voted in the negative.
Mr.. Van Slyke also moved that the
matter OF constructing pavilion, the
boating privileges anu music accommo-
datiOns be referred to the park board.
Mr.. Warren strongly objected, bs-
lieving that this was matter the COM
mittee had nothing whatever to do
with. He wished to 90 on record as OPP
posed to granting Mr.. Lowry any boat
ing privileges at Lake Como.
MIR. Zimmerman cOncurred, and the
resolution was withdrawn.
The committee resolved, in regard to
Fort Smelling extension. that half
hour service from Fort Smelling bridge
to and around the loop, without change
Of cars. the year round, was requisite.
Aid. Zimmerman referred to the
service OF cars on the East Seventh
street cable, and it was resolved to rec
ommend the resumption of five-minute
service on this line, making every other
train connect with the Maria avenue
extension.
Aid. Zimmerman was agreeable to
Mr.. Lowry's proposition in regard to
the Maria avenue eXtension-that the
line DE extended when Mounds View
park was secured and improved. A
motion to that effect was agreed to.
There was considerable talk about
the service on the West side. 1t was
decided to ask for better service on
State street line, with waiting room
at the corner of Concord and State
streets. The committee declined to re-
lease MIR. Lowry in regard to the Stryker
avenue. They did not believe in giving
up any city rights to Mr.. Lowry.
The committee recommended the con-
tinuance of the present Hamline and
st. Anthony car service.
MIR. Lowry's proposition in regard to
the cutting down the transfer system
was strongly condemned.
Mr.. Franklin said that Mr.. Lowry
had 1.-THE biggest piece of nerve" to
make such proposition.
Mr.. ZimmermanIsaid that the propo-
sitIon was outrageous, and that he
would not consider it moment.
A motion by Mr.. Zimmerman recon-
mending that the committee could not
consider the proposition was promptly
carried. The committee. however,
agreed to that part of Mr.. LOwry'S
proposition which provides for the sub
stitution of the present Minneapolis
transfer system fO that now operated in
this city.
The committee favored the petition OF
the Grand avenue citizens for better
service on that line west of Lexington
avenue.
Mr.. Warren moved that it he the sense
OF the committee that all boating privi-
leges at Lake Como he retained by the
park board.
This was carried.
Mir. Van Slyke moved that the Missis-
slppi and Lafayette cars should continue
to run by way of Broadway, and the
committee recommended the tearing up
OF the tracks OH Thirteenth street.
No objection was raised to this, and
the committee thereafter adjourned.
