was taken up for consideration. and Mr..
Nickel moved to strike out all OF the
line east of Pearl street.
Mr.. Hazard asked that the council

street, as it would be likely that they
would want to extend their line east
from Main street on Seventh street.

want to run their line east that they
could come in and ask for franchise
when the route could be arranged to
suit them in crossing over to the west
