WHAT MIR FISHER PROPOSED.
Major Nash was present as Mr. Fishers
representative. lie had correspondence
between himself ana Mr. Fisher. in which
the latter agreed 20 accept an ordnance
providing for a ten-mlnute schedule on
Hull street over Mayo's bridge, provided
the Council would accept an ordinance
allowing him TO transfer his Perry-street
route. or "A part o: IL. 10 Semmes street.
There were provisions in each ordinance
allowing MI Fisher to stop running the
cars on Perry street and Decatur street
but TO retain his franchises.
Mr. Morton made q motion mat the
Hull-street ordinance be adopted ana the
Perrv-street one referred back 10 the
to- ~ as as
that as he under Stood Mr.. Fishers letter
ne would not accept the one without the
other but advocated the motion, which
was adopted By q vote OF 10 3.
Several Of the members expressed them-
o,lves on the subject. MIR. O'Brien
thought the city should adopt an orli-
NANCE providing for a certain schedule
and II the stTcet-caf pe 'H!'- hiH no' con-
ply with it TO take the matter TO me
courts. .,
Mr.. Hart ala not think the Council
could DO much on Perry ana Hun streets
but was under the impression that they
had things their own way on Decatur
street.
Mr.. U'tz thought Mr.. Fishers idea IN
changing the Perry-sireet route 10
Semmes street was 10 avoid paving the
street. which is now in contemplation.
Mr.. Sims said he would vote for the
Hull-street ordinance, provided there was
no funny buSincsS' i'm the matter. lie
said Mr.. Fisher looked after his own IN
tcrests and no one else. and remarked that
he was too sharp for him, ana he thousht
for the whole Council. ,
Mr.. Pool said hc would vote for the HUI
street ordinance in the hope that the
committee could afterwards get Mr..
Fisher to come over 10 their way OF
thinking When he said this he TOOK
shy glance at Major Nash. ami iinhe-
di,telv the hopeful look disappeared from
his cOuntenauce.
The Council then adjourned. and the
spectators. with yawn. left
