NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Common Council Of New brunswick and the
City Railway Company have locked horns over the
question Of changing the motive power Of the street
cars from horses to electricity. Several conferences
between the Aldermen and the representatives Of
the company have been held. but yet they have
failed to agree over certain regulations be in
Guided in the ordinance. Both the Council and the
company have drawn up suggestions for an ordi-
nance. and they differ in several essential details
The city demands that the entire work of complet-
ing the road be done within year. The com
pany agrees, but asks that any delay through a
restraining order legal proceeding shall not
count against the company. The city says that
this gives opportunity for the company 10 start
a fictitious suit and thus delay the work inden-
nitely The Aldermen think that the company only
wants the electric franchise for speculative pur-
poses. and are Jealous in their devotion to the
interests.
