The people residing along this line having
occasion 10 use il, say that they will be salts
fed if the cars would run as often as every
thirty minutes around the loop. and we be-
lieve that such ought to be expected in order
TO furnish reasonable service.
Action Deferred.
Aid. Warren moved 10 adopt, and A Id.
Hickman moved as a substitute that ac-
ton be deferred until the next meeting.
This called Aid. Copeland to his feet
again to score hit at the Lafayette sys-
TEN. Cars are run fifteen minutes
apart, and then the cars are so crowded
that the public is unable to board the
cars.
1T is shameful persisted the alderman
holly. People stand on the street corners
shivering and unable to get a car. l don't
know what Mr.. Lowry means. | think i,
would be for his interest to put on ears
enough TO accommodate the $4,000 people
who live III that section of the city. As II is,
people who are willing TO pay their fares are
forced to walk home Mr., Lowry is working
against his own interests. What his reason
is is not apparent, but believe he intends
harm to ST. Paul
Aid. Warren withdrew his motion
with the understanding that the city at
terney present an opinion at the next
enforce reasonable service, and as tC
what constitutes reasonable service.
Mr.. Hickman then withdrew his mo-
ton. and Aid. Warren renewed his mo-
ton TO adopt, and it prevailed.
The SeIby Hill Improvement.
An interesting struggle ensued over
the street railway ordinance authorizing
the company to construct chain in the
Selby avenue hill as a precautionary
measure, or as preventive against ac-
cident in the event the brakes fail to
work or the grip looSens. This is the
measure that was before the assembly
three weeks ago.
NJ. ID. Mum appeared in the interest
OF the street railway company and pre-
Sented the case of his clients. Aid.
Franklin had moved to refer TO the COM
mittee on streets and Aid. Copeland
moved 10 amend so that the matter be
referred to the committee on street
railway, and upon this division the
members argued at length.
Mr.. Mum explained that the company
is desirouS to make the Improvement

posed reference will work a delay of
some eighteen days, it must prohibit
the construction before cold weather

plans were present. and he was
granted permission to explain the plans,
which he did minutely. Thereupon
Aid. Copeland insisted upon his motion,
but Aid. Cullen argued in favor of re-
ferring TO the committee on streets, and
after AID. Franklin had withdrawn his
motion the Fourth ward alderman re-
newed the motion. Aid. Copeland with
drew his amendment finally. and in so
doing he insisted that there must be a
full committee meeting when cousid-
cred. Aid. Cullen characterized this
restriction as inconsistent. unfair and
improper, and the First ward alderman
did not insist upon his conditions. But
he wanted to state that Mr.. Lowry has
been presented with a franchise that is
invaluable, and in consideration Mr..
Lowry had agreed to furnish certain
services. and IN this he has defauted.
Il stood at the corner of Jackson and Sew
enth streets, he said, with feeling; Il stood
there twenty-one minutes before Il car came
along, and then the car was so crowded that
it was with great difficulty that was able to
get on. The Mlssssi ppi street and the Lafay-
cite avenue lines do not give reasonable
service and it is for the reason that Mr..
Lowry doesn't seem TO care to give decent
service that l want this proposed change on
the cable line carefully Investigated before
lHe ordnance Is passed.
After some further discussion, in
which Mr.. Mum reiterated that the
reference will prohibit the construction
this fall. Aid. Cullen's motion prevailed.

Aid. Warren is an enthusiastic hustler
for the interests and conveniences of
his constituents. This is especially true
as regards street railway service. Ever

evening his views and aim were en-
bodied in an ordinance authorizing the
st. Paul railway company to construct

Aid. Hickman moved to refer to the
committee on street railway, and Aid
Cullen asked the corporation attorney
to give legal opinion upon the i'm
prOyement, and Mr.. Phillips replied
that the ordinance was proper in the
event the sewers had been laid on the
streets designated. Aid. Warren re.
piled that the sewers are in the streets,
and thereupon Aid. Franklin moved a
suspension of the rules. President IN
gersoll alone voted in the negative, and
the ordinance was adopted upon the
same vote.
