Mr.. TingIey moved the passage of the
three ordinances together.
Mr.. O'Brien wanted to divide them as it
was unfair to ask mem bers to vote upon
them In this way. There were some of the
ordinances he was In favor of and one he
desired to antagonize, the one granting
the right to lay temporary track on East
avenue.
President Pierce said Il would be better
to vote on them separately.
Messrs. O'Brien, Delany and Gillian
opened such fire on the temporary East
avenue track that President Pierce finally
ruled the ordnance as presented out of
order.
Mr.. Tingley then moved to amend that
ordinance by striking out all reference to
the temporary track. This was agreed to.
Mr.. O'Brien then moved to amend one
of the other ordinances so as to strike out
that portion giving the company the right
to lay rails on Lonsdale avenue from
Mineral Spring avenue to Main street.

matter was continued until the next
meeting.
