main line at the crossing, said tracks to
be kept in constant repair and to be
planked flush with the street at all cross
ings. 1t is further provided that the
railroad company shall provide, at the
option of the city council, either flag
man or gate, upon thirty days notice,

comotive shall be permitted to stand on
said street at any time, nor to stand on
sidetrack, within fifty feet OF Colorado
street for more than five min
utes. No switching shall be done
| across said street at any time. The
present curved track shall be taken
up within ninety days. A neglect to
comply with any of the requirements of
the ordinance, if continued ten days

next Monday. This ordinance states
that no switching OF any trains shall be
done across Colorado street, and pro-
vides fine of not more than $500 or i'm
