it distinctly understood that the ordi-
nance he had rendered did not come
from the railway company. but had
Deen prepared by him at the request Of
some of the members of the council.
Aid. Copeland thought the ordinance
Nj. Mum had sent in was a very fair
one, and he would be in favor of adopt
ing it. The opportunity ought not to be
lost by the board, and he was in favor
of its passage, with few minor amend
mentS.
1t was then decided to take the Mum
ordinance up section by section, and
pass OH each.
Aid. Cullen moved to amend the first
section by fixing the date at which new
lines could be ordered at May, 1895.
Franklin Suspicious
Aid. Franklin made a long talk In
which he alluded to the council as the
fly, and Mr.. Lowry as the spider who
was inviting the members into his par
lOr. If the city passed the ordinance
he said noanew lines could be built in
three years, ana as line to the har-
vester works would be needed the rail-
way company would use this necessity
as club to have the transfers on the
interurban line abolished The COM.
pany. according to MIR. Mum, would
not press this matter now, but 1t was
certain it would come up as soon as the
ordinance was passed. The Stryker
and Maria avenue lines were needed,
and as the former line wss to be ex-
tended only sixteen blocks to meet the
wishes of the citizen he would insist it
be built.
Aid. Cullen moved the adoption of
his amenment to have the time for Or
dering new lines fixed at May l, 1895. )
Aid Hickman. who is very anxious to
have a better service on the Merriam
Park extension OF the Selby avenue
line, said he could not vote for this or
the ordinance until some arrangements
were made which would get the cars
from that section down town. He sug-
gested they might come down the cable
line from Milton street, as d trailer on
the cable cars.
Mr.. Mum said this might be possible
If there were a safety service OH Selby
avenue hill. He thought the committee
might get together Saturday afternoon
and arrange for the building of such a
device. 1t was decided to have meet
ing Saturday. at which time plans Of
the device will be submitted by the
company.
Aid. Franklin, after the time for or
derlng new lines had been cut down to
two years, moved that the entire section
relating to the completion of the Maria
and StrYker avenue lines be stricken
from the ordinance. This was done, and
should this ordinance pass it will leave
the present ordinance in force, and
under this the two lines will have to be
built before July l of the present year.
After this section had been stricken out,
Mr.. Mum said that the ordinance in its
present shape would not be accepted by
the company. The particular objection
was that the company was not given a
farther extension of time for the COM
pletion of the Maria and Stryker avenue
lines. The balance of the ordinance was
gone through with and then the meas
ures referred back to the committee on
streets. who will report further at An
adjourned meeting Monday night. In
the meantime Mr.. Mum will consult
with Mr.. Lowry, and at the regular
meeting of the committee. Saturday.
will report Mr.. Lowry's decision on the
ordinances as amended.
