pass street railway ordinance which
will be accepted by the company, and
this certainly entities them to some
credit. All members were present ex-

same objection to this ordinance as he
had to others introduced. The city.
he claimed was giving up great deal,
and all they were getting was a line to
Como park. The Stryker and Maria ava
enue lines were again postponed, and
the hands of the council tied up for
three years. Much, he thought, had
been gained by the opposition inaugu-
rated by the aldermen, as the transfer
system was preserved intact, and the
boulevard plan would have to be carried
out under the existing ordinance. The
idea that the constituents which he rep
resented should be sacrificed In order TO
benefit some other section OF the city
was all wrong, and for this reason he
would be forced to vote against the
passage of the ordinance. The other
nine members, including Aid. thinner
man, voted aye, and the president an
nounced the measure passed.

proceed with the construction of the
line and have it in OpperatiOn by July |,
1893. The line now terminating at the
intersection OF Greenbrier and Mary
land streets is to be extended to Phalen
lake, via Maryland, Earl and Como and

The line on ROndo street is to be ex-

ceptance of the same with the city clerk,

to be forfeited, and the same to be null
and void and of no effect.
A special meeting of the assembly
has been called for this evening, and
the ordinance will be passed at the

a regular meeting, it will be put
through Just to show to Mr.. Lowry that
the members ara good fellows and Willr
