The Consolidatcd's Time Limit.
The Council resolution approving the
| the ground plans and elevation of the new
! passenger station with the train-s shed
| provision and stipulating that nothing
| therein contained shall present the imme-
! date prosecution OF work upon the pas
| senger station, was received.
Alderman Ballou offered an amendment
! inserting before this stipulation, the
q. al A<.A hat
| the acceptance herein contained Is con-
ditioned that the New York, New Haven
| AZ Hartford Railroad Company shall on
or before the first day of May, 1894,
file with the city clerk OF the city OF
Providence its written assent to the pro-
visions contained in the resolution and
shall also on or before the first day of Oc-
tober following present for the approval
of the City Council plans for said train
house." The amendment was adopted.
The principal items OF concurrent busi-
ness included the adding of 900 to the
poor appropriation, and authorizing City
Solicitor to apply TO the General Assembly
for legislation to suppress policy playing
and pool selling.
An opinion was received from the city
| solicitor relative to the matter OF hack
mems licenses. These licenses can only
be revoked in case OF violation OF the or
| dinances. No ordinance can be found
| prohibiting hackmen from enter
| ing the Union or any other
depot to solicit passengers. The
contract of Billings Brothers with the
railroad company does not appear to have
been made in violation of any ordinance,
rule or regulation. In substance, the
opinion of the city solicitor Is that the
Mayor has the right to revoke Licenses
without notice or hearing, the rights OF
the city being superior to any existing
contract with the railroads.
