STATE STREET RAILROADS.
Hunt reported on petition of citi-
zens to allow electric railway to run
up State street, that same be granted.
Hutton asked if committee had
considered the crowded condition
of Twelfth street. Hunt thought
another track could be got in there.
Moores said the horse car line had
been given an exclusive right on
that street. He was opposed to
allowing two horse car lines on eny
residence street. Messrs. Cottle and
Derby had asked him to submit
written statement, (Which he read,)
to the effect that they would within
"a reasonable time electrify the line.
A protest signed by e. f. Park
hurst, VIM. England, F. n. Derby
f. 4. Turner, Geo. Williams, II. w,
Cottle and others was presented,
which also stated that the horse car
line would positively be electrified
within a reasonable time.
LAHORE said the only way to get
an electric road on Stale street was
to grant the petition Of the Electric
company and he moved adoption of
Hunts report.
Hunt was opposed to granting ex-
elusive rights on any street. Both
lines touched the depot, and it would
hurt the horse car property no more
to run on State than on Ferry. He
favored extensions of lines in all
directions.
/ Hutton said it was wrong 10 run
the horse car line out of town. II
was very desirable in its day. The
city would get into trouble if it tried
to put three tracks on 18th street.
He favored giving the new company
a chance.
