| Special committee on Crosstown
Railway company disagreed and
the minority reported that the
street commissioner cut down Dali
las street to proper grade and then
allow Crosstown company to re-
lay track, provided the company
pay part of cost and put good cars
on track and operate the line. The
majority reported refusing the car
line and franchise on this street.
A. f. Beckman made supple
mental report. The receiver could
not appear before the committee,
but two Representatives did appear
and made promises, but no security
was offered. His report abrogated,
the franchise still further. Elmen-
dorf moved the adoption of the
minority report. Daugherty moved
the adoption of the majority re-
port. Newton spoke for his minor
ity report. This street would be
dangerous if the road was taken
off, unless the street commissioners
fixes it up or lets itout by contract.
No sidewalks can be built on this
street, they have no grades, and
the people should have facilities
| for travel.
Hice said he understood the
road was now out of the hands of
the receiver. Newton said the
records of the court did not show
it.
Daugherty asked where wo I'D
people go if they had car line on
| this street? Newton said they
might go to the breweries, or
might wander down into the
Seventh ward.
Beckman asked if a corporation
in the hands of receiver is given
immunity from control by the
city? Also if the city has right to
abrogate the franchise of a corpo-
ration in the hands of a receiver.
Hice said he heard Mr.. Maury is
now the general manager of this
road.
| Daugherty spoke on the question
He was a small man and had not
got lost in the holes on that street.
He asked Newton if he wanted
Dallas street fixed first and then
have the car company come along
and tear it up.
The mayor said a resolution to
forfeit a franchise does not forfeit
it. 1t must go before the court.
The majority and minority re-
ports then came up, the minority
report first. Elmendorf and New
ton voted aye-lost. Majority re-
port was adopted.
| Daugherty, for the special com.
mittee on butchers and slaughter
house, reported that the joint COM
mittee of aldermen and butchers
had examined the place offered by
DR.. Graves and presented the re.
port, towit:
The members of both commit
tees met Saturday, June 2, at said
slaughter house and proceeded to
Systematically examine the whole
institution. Beginning at the pens
we found that same could be made
: satisfactory to the butch
ers. The chute is quite
long and very steep, particularly
to the hog killing department o.
| the house, which would have to bt
t changed materially to accommo
date all the butchers in the city
! DIR. Graves, however, offered tt
= make any alterations or additions
needed thereto.
v The hog killing department
!. would, in our opinion, be much bet
t ter on a lower floor to serve tn,
t purpose of a union slaughter hous,
and ought to be put under bette
Q sanitary condition even as 1t is
: The offal watts seem to be all right
r but might have been placed in tn
: basement; however, no objection
was raised on that point.
The beef killing department wa
