Goodrich's fine Italian hand were II
every nook and corner of the old coun-
ell chamber in the city hall last night
The city council held meeting, and
under the guidance of the gentleman
referred 10 matters conducive to good
results for the street railway company
were decided. MIR. Goodrich had given
the city hall glimpse of the sunshine Oh
his presence during the day. In company
with number of the aldermen and AS
siStant City Attorney Simpson, he had
discussed street railway matters i'll gen
eral. in other words, the business was
ali cut ard dried, so that when the old
ordinance regarding transfer stations
came up, there was no trouble III COM
ing 10 a decision. When City Clerk
Haney last night began the reading OF
the transfer ordinance, Alderman-at-
Large Goodrich made his way to where
AID. Lowell sat, and, with jab in the
Fifth ward representatives ribs, he
whispered:
Now is your time. Introduce the
amendment to the ordinance"
No sooner said than done. Aid
Lowell obeyed like school boy and the
amendment was read. 1t established
transfer stations at the intersection oil
Cedar and W ashington avenues: 1wen-
tieth and Washington avenues north
and Second street and Central avenues
northeast. 1t also provided for the
establishment Of transfer depot on
Hennepin avenue between Washington
and the union depot, to be well l!ghled
and heated, TO cost 5000, and the city
to receive 81 600 annually for the use OF
the ground. This amendment also al
lowed for transfers on all lines Ill ire
city, with the exception of the interur-
ban. On the intprurDan line there VIII
be no transfers given at all, and there
comes tile rub The taking off OF the
transfers Oh this line more than pays
for the transfer depot, and more than
counteractS tine benefit of the new trans
fer stations established. 10 any per-
son taking car in order to reach the
Ltaturban the expense of the trip TO
St. Paul will be II cents, instead OF ~,
as at present.
The transfer station at the corner of
Washington avenue south and Cedar
becomes worthless, for the reason that
transfers can be issued practically TO
but one line at that point. That one
line is the Minnehaha, and as 1t runs
Washington avenue, 1T can readily be
seen that there will be no use for trans
fers. Any one in the city desiring to
take the Minnehaha line will not take
the Cedar, when both cars run Oh the
same line and it will necesSitate wait
at the corner of Washington ana Cedar.
They will wait, in preference, at some
street rather than go clear
down to South Minneapolis merely to
have the fun OF getting transfer
Aid. Lackey, Haynes, Hunter and
Rollins objected to the knocking out of
the interurban transfers, but there were
too many against them. Aid. Rand
voted for the amendment, but it was for
the purpose of being able to give notice
of motion for reconsideration OF the
vote and thus tie the matter up Tor
time. When he attempted to make use
of this prerogative, he was froWned
down by President Potter. who granted
the falicity of making a motion to re-
to Aid. BarrOws. Tha ordinance
was in this manner passed and fixed so
that the vote could not be reconSldered.
One clause OF the new ordinance is that
the street railway company Shall be al
lowed to relocate its tracks and build
one on each side of the transfer depot.
The ordinance is to take effect after
Feb. /, 1898 provided the terms are ac-
cepted by the street railway company
within ten days of its passage. OF
course this will be done. The ground
to be used for this transfer depot is to
be furnished by the city. The exact 10
cation will be found in the following,
which is an extract from the resolution
fathered by Aid. Durnham:
"All that parcel of land in the city of
Minneapolis, lying within the triangle
formed by the extension in a north
easterly direction of the northwesterly
curb line of Nicollet avenue, and the
SOutneasterly curb line of NicOllet ave-
nue., and the southeasterly curb line of
Hennepin avenue, and line drawn
parallel to and fifty feet DOrtheasterly
from the water tables of the northeast
erly end of the city hall building, as it
now exists, between the aforesaid Mic
ollet and Hennepin avenue"
On motion of Aid. GraYit was decided
to make the street railway company pay
for the removal of all distractions Oh
the land, including water trough and
a set of scales. Aid. Lackey moved
that the extent of the lease be fixed at
ten years, and this was done.

great interest to the business transacted.
EX-City Clerk Cornman was also pres
ent and gazed with longing eyes
at the present incumbent doing
his work His gazing, however,
will do him no good Ill that direc-
ton. The committee on fife depart
ment reported i'll favor of furnishing a
fire gong to the various newspaper
offices Of the city. The report was
adopted, and the proper officers were
instructed to purchase the gongs. Aid.
McGowan brought up the old census
matter by moving to take Sl,325 from
the contingent fund for the purpose OF
paying the enumerators. Heretofore
the bills presented have amounted to
81, 600, and several of the aldermen OBJ
jected to the sum asked by McGowan.
