The electric light pole ordinance was
then called up by GIr. O'NLeara
Of the bill at this time, saying that
he wanted time to examine into the
matter.
He was followed by Mr.. CIawson,
who moved that the city attorney
draft an ordinance providing for the
consolidation of all wires on not more
than two sets of poles.
This motion was seconded. Mr..
Young then argued in favor Of the or
~ i u ~ s,,er
was more fair than the proposition TO
compel one company to go under
ground while another had outside priv
ileges. He favored compelling all the
companies going under ground inside
the next five years and advocated pass
ing an ordinance containing those pro-
visions at once. While he deprecated
the way in which the franchise was
granted. men had gone into the
matter in good faith and invested their
money. Their rights should be pro-
| tected.
fyMeara said the ordinance is grant
ed and is on the books. No one should
criticise the action of the old council
in granting the franchise. The people
| interested. are men of standing and are
entitled to consideration. This ord1-
nance grants as many privileges TO the
present company as to the new.

| sistance and said the franchise having
been granted, the company could come

Some 1lfbustering was INDUCED in on
a motion to adjourn which was de-
| feated twice.
a motion to table the resolution was
opposed by Clawson, who contended

board OF public WozhE. From this
! point to the close of the session the
proceedings could be faithfully repro
duced only by a kinetoseope and a
phonograph-
/ ClaWson claimed the floor to speak
to his motion but was sat upon by the
chair. O'Meara flew to CIaWsOns res

Practice, but the chair squelched him
too. Then Clawson appealed from the
chair, but the chair would not enter
