The hnal meeting of the board-of-
aldermen-Street-rai debating So
ciety was held yesterday afternoon, and,
for a wonder, an ordinance was recon-
mended to pass.
The wOnderment increases when it is
realized that the committee has decided
on an ordinance which will be accept
able TO the company. Mr.. Mum at
tended the meeting, and after he had
stated that Mr.. Lowry had agreed to fix
the time after which new lines could be
ordered at Sept. l, 1895, the ordinance
was so amended.
Regarding the Stryker and Maria ave-
nue. lines, Mr.. Mum said it was request
ed by Mr.. Lowry that the time for CON-
pleting these lines be extended to July
l, 1894. This also seemed agreeable to
the committee, and it was inserted in
the measure.
The salient points in the ordinance,
which the committee will recommend
for passage at the meeting on Monday
night, are given below:
The present ordinance, No. 1,227, is
amended so as to provide that no new
lines or extensions of either electric or
horse car lines can be ordered by the
council between May 1, 1898, and Sep
tember l, 1895. The company is also
given until July l, 1894, to complete the
Stryker and Maria avenue lines as de-
Scribed in section l of the present
ordinance. The above amendments are
made upon
The Express Conditions
that the company shall proceed to con-
Struct and operate double track line
beginning at the intersection of Rice
street and Como avenue via Como,
Front, Chatsworth and Van Slyke av-
enue to Como park. The cars on the
line are to be operated to and from the
central portion of the city along the
center of the route described, and to be
in operation thirty days after the sewer
shall have been laid on Como avenue rs
far as the tracks OF the Great Northern
railway.
After the line has been built, no sewer
is to be constructed so as to interfere
with the operation of said line prior to
Sept. l, 1896. In case the city does not
commence the construction of Il sewer
on Como avenue, between Rice street
and the Great Northern tracks, before
June l, then the company is directed to
proceed with the construction of the
line and have il in operation by July l.
1898. Ghe line now terminating at the
intersection of Greenbrier and Maryland
streets is to be extended to Phalen lake,
via Maryland, Earl and Como and Fha-
len avenues, and cars operated thereon
as soon as the city has acquired, by pur-
chase or condemnation, the title to
eighty acres for public park at Phalen.
The extension is not to be operated ear
lier than July l, 1894, and only between
May and October during the years to
October. 1897. No sewer is to be built
along the line TO Phalen after the track
is laid until after September, 1898.
ROndO Extension
The line on Rondo street is to be eX
tended west from Its present terminus
10 Miller street, and is TO be in operation
ninety days after the ordinance is pub
Iished. Ali the lines specified are 10 be
operated under ordinance 1927, and all
rights granted under this ordinance are
to terminate at the same time as under
ordinance 1927. The ordinance passed
by the cOuncil-NO. 1893 directing the
street railway company to operate line
on Charles and other streets, is repealed
by the ordinance, as is also the resolu-
tiOn approved Nov. 10, 1892, requiring
the company TO build horse car line
Oh Front and other streets.
Before the ordinance is Of any force
or effect the company is to file an ac-
ceptance Of the same with the city clerk,
the same to be approved by the city at
tOrney. In case the company fails or
neglects to complete all of the lines
designated in the ordinance in the man
ner specified then all right and priv
ileges granted under the ordinance are
to be forfeited, and the same to be null
and void and of no effect.
The members of the committee unani-
mOusly decided to recommend the pas
sage of the ordinance, although Aid.
Franklin didn't say just what he would
do when it came up in the board. Aid.
Zimmerman, who was present on the
outside, was not to be comforted with
the measure, and plainly said be would
not vote for its passage. 1t is possible,
however, that the necessary number of
votes can be secured In the board of
aldermen to pass the ordinance without
the aid of Aid. Franklin ana THINNER
