CAN CHANGE ITS ROUTE.
TIE ELECTRIC COMPANY WINS
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.

PERMIT 8 on Granted 20 Run the Tracks
Down st. Julian Street and Along
tho Esst Side Of West Broad-Alder-
man O'Brien Makes & Strong But
Unsuccessful Fight Against the
Road-As Soon as the Commuters
Action Is Confirms Work VIII BE-
gin and Coatinued Day and Night
Until Comp'ete1.
The Electric Railway Company has won
a partial victory over Alderman O'Brien.
After he succeeded a week ego in defeating
its proposed change of route through Bryan
street aud along the west side OF West
Broad strest to South Broad, most people
thought that ended the matter.
But President Collins of the Electric COM
reny at once filed a new petition
asking to make the change Of
route through Franklin square and st.
Julian street along the east side of West
Broad street, with the hope that as the track
would not be directly in front of Alderman
O'Briens place OF business, tho First
districts representative would not continue
his fight
The matter came up before the commit
tee of the whole Of the council yesterday
afternoon, Alderman OpBriea was on
hand. fighting es hard as ever. He opposed
tho change on the ground that the residents
of West Broad street do not rant any adj
dltional railroads on that thoTouRhfare
under any circumstances. The big alder
man made gallant fight, but it was vain
one.
President Collins told the aldermen that
his company stood willing to move the
water fountain If the council considered 1t
necessary, and the road would be- 10 built as
not to interfere in the least with the water
mains in Franklin square,
The vote resulted in the committee de-
Gliding to recommend favorably to the
council at It's next meeting the change OF
route asked for by the Electric Railway
company, with such restrictions as council
might see fit TO impose.
OF course the action of the committee of
the whole is not final. but there is not much
probability that any OF the aldermen will
change their votes at next Wednesday
nights meeting. The road, however, cam
not begin the work of changing the route
until the council confirms the committees
action, but President Collins will have mis-
gangs ready to begin work the moment
confirmation Is given, and they will work
night and day until it is finished, as the job
has to be completed by May l or go over
till next November
