port one Of the conditions Of the grant.
Another section provided for giving
Bellaire persons the preference in the
construction and operation OF the road,
and that no Italians or Hungarians
should DO employed. This was objec-
tionable because the company cannot
be bound to give Bellaire persons the
preference in handling electric motors,
when none OF them have had expe-
rienCe in that line, nor can the com.
pany be prohibited from employing
whom it pleases. However, the pro-
jectors do not object to any part save
that which applies to the operation OF
their cars, and in this they only ask
what is fair and right. The ordinance
will probably pass.
