Extended the Time.
The amendment to the Fifth Ward
Transfer Railway company ordinance,
which extended the time for the COM
pletion OF portion of the road to
August l, 1894, having passed the coun-
Gil at the last meeting, was brought up
in the assembly and Mr.. Doran asked
that it be referred to the committee on
streets. He did this, he said, owing to
a number of the property owners in the
Fifth ward having requested him to op-
pose an extension of time unless some
guarantee were given by the company
that there would not be another extern
sion asked for in 1894.
Mr.. Lightner thought the delay would
be very incOnvenient to the company,
but the committee could investigate and
report at the next meeting of the as
sembly, which would be week from
today
Both Mr.. Van Slvke and Mr. johnson
objected to the delay, and NJ. ID. Mum,
the attorney for the road, explained that
it was necessary for the best interests of
the company that there should be no de-
lay in passing the amendment to the
ordinance. The only thing changed was
to allow the company one year longer to
complete portion of the road.
The motion to refer to the committee
was voted down and the ordinance as
amended passed under a suspension of
the rules without any opposition.
