Iglehart street, on Iglehart to Fisk
street, on Fisk to Fuller street, on Full
Ter to GrOtto and on that street
to Minnehaha street. 1t was the desire
of the people in that region to have
line extending from Paramount to Mimi
ellaha street. all the way on st. Adams
street; but as st. Adams street is not
severed north of Iglellart Mr.. Lowry,
under an ordinance which was passed
long ago, cannot be compelled to lay
the tracks thereon.
Pixies ordinance went to the commit
tee OH streets, and that body attached
to it an amendment requiring Mr..
Lowry to extend the line provided for
in the ordinance down to St. Adams
street hill, at Fairmont to West Sew
enth street. This complicated matters.
for under the street railway ordinance
of September, 1889, Mr.. Lowry cannot
be compelled to build line up grade
of per cent. unless it is demonstrated
in the future that sleeper grades are
practicable.
Mr.. Pike made a lengthy speech in
support of his ordinance. He Topped
out the committees amendment, prom
Using to hand in at next meeting separ-
ate ordinance for the line south of Fair
mont, SO that the per cent
=
haZarding the chances OF the upper
line. He also offered an amendment to
his original draft. which provides that
Mr.. Lowry may elect between now and
the end of the year given him for the
completion of the work to build the line
all the way ON st. Adams street, from
Paramount to Minnenaha street; and II
at the end of that time he fails to so
elect then he is required by the ordl-
nance to build the zigZagging line de-
Scrlbed.
After long wrangle. in which every
body took part, MIR. Pike carried the
day, his ordinance, with his amend
ment, being carried, under suspension
of the rules. Those who voted no were
Messrs. Lightner aud Van Slyke.
s.T'' Rail Fight.
The next fight was over the st" rail
repeating ordinance The committee
OH streets of The assembly, to which was
referred Aid. Warren'S repeating
ordinance, reported a substitute for the
same. The substitute repeats the ~
rail ordinance which was passed nearly
two years ago, and then provides that
the city railway company may use such
IT. rail as the city engineer may ap-
prove, provided it paves
tween the rails and the double tracks
and three feet OH each outside of the
tracks, with granite. under the super
vision and approval of the city engineer.
Mr.. Lightner made a stand for a
reference to the committee on streets,
maintaining that it was unfair to take
the matter up in the absence of Mr..
Mum. Mr.. LoWry'S attorney; but he
was oyerpoWered. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Pike that by repeating the old
''T'' rail ordinance it would revive Mr..
Lowry's obligation to boulevard Uni
verslty avenve. Mr.. Reardon said if
that was the case, the sooner that or
dinance was repealed the better. MIR.
Johnson moved that the rules be SuS-
pended and the ordinance placed on its
passage. The motion was defeated. and
then the matter was referred to the
committee on streets.
Mr.. Lightner carried the day in the
rest of the street railway matters and
secured the reference to the committee
OH streets of the Aid. Warren ordinance
regulating the speed of street cars and
giving the fire department the right of
way when going to fires, and of the Aid.
Franklin ordinance requiring the inter-
urban cars to stop at every street cross
ing.
