Mr.. Bacon said this was the most
remarkable petition that he had ever
seen presented to municipal body In
this county. 1t was signed by over
80 per cent. of the business men in this
city.
Mr.. Elmer said he agreed with Mr..
Bacon that this was "a most remark.
able petition end moved that 1t be re-
ceived and filed, which was done.
Mr.. Bacon made bis usual strong ar
gument in favor of the speedy passage
of the ordinance.
MIR. Rice was an pxions to see the troll.
ley system extended on all the streets
of the city as far as needed, and he
would especially desire to see the
Bridgeton, Cedarville and Port Norris
railroad extended, and the facilities of
trolley travel extended ito the towns
below.
Mr.. johnson wanted to give the or.
dinance very full consideration before
its passage.
President Matthews vacatipg the
chair for Mr.. MacFarland, said that he
did not suppose there WAS member of
City Council but who was not in favor
of the trolley road, and desired its ex-
tention. He chafed, however, on
some f the criticisms which had been
heaped upon the City Conncil, upon
the passage of ordinance No. 66. He
wanted, however, that only one com.
pany should have the franchise, and
wanted to know why 1t could not be
SO incorporates; he wanted also that
the city should receive some revenue
from the railroad traffic. He thought
If they demanded something of the
railroad company they would get it.
Ordinance No. 66 was entirely too
loose and he didn't want any more of
it.
Mr.. John Mcpherson, one of the
business men who had signed the petit.
ton of business men, said that he
would prefer to have the road ex
tended to Port Norris under an ordi-
nance with the same restrictions as
those of Ordinance No. 66 then not to
have 1t extended at all.
Mr.. w. o. Garrison explained to
Council why they did not ask TOR the
extension of the railroad system under
the South Jersey Traction Co. and
why they preferred to be erfranohised
as a new and distinct company. He
showed also how, by the proposed
system of taxation the road could be
taxed out of existance.
Several others spoke for and against
the passage of the ordinance.
The motion to take up on second
reading was lost by a vote of six nays
and four yeas. Mr.. johnson moved
that when Council adjourn 1t do SO to
meet on the 23rd at 7.S0 O'Clock; to
take up this ordinance on second read
ing, and that fifty copies of the ordi-
napce as read tonight be printed. The
motion was adopted.
Mr.. Elmer moved that the Citv
