Council. held last Monday night, captain
Andrew Pizzini was present as the rep
resentative of the company, and stated
TO the Council that he was not at that
time prepared to state what his com
pany would do II the matter but If he
was given until the following FRIDAY
night. which was the regular
meeting night Of the Council, ne would
be present and state finally and
fully just what expense his COM

some consideration. selected the johnson
nal-head girder rail, a very heavy rail, as
the kind which they wished laid on Hun
street. They also informed Captain Piz-
zini that his company would be expected
to pave two feet on each side OF their
tracks with granite spalls.

Before the street-car matter was taken
I'D CAPTAIN A. G. AttkissOn. of the Man
chester Grays appeared before the Coun-
Gil and asked that an appropriation De
made to construct an armory for the use
of his company. He said that they
had nowhere to keep their arms ana
accoutremeats and that ever since It's
formation the company had been forced
to drill in the street. Litutenants Brad
ley and Toney aso spoke in the same
strain. The matter was retired 10 inc
Finance Committee.
The important question Of the evening
was then taken up. and Captain Pizzini,
upon motion Of Mr. Sims. was allowed
the privilege Of the floor. Captain Pizzini
then took the floor and read a letter,
which he had prepared, stating that his
company was unwilling to 90 to as much
expense as would be cntailed upon IL by
complying with the demands of the coun-
ell. and he hoped that those demands
would be so modified that his company
might meet the council half way, and
not be forced 10 go 10 such great OK
pense.
Captain Pizzini suggested that a special
committee be appointed by the Council 10
| confer with committee from his com
pany to the end that some amicable un-
Outstanding might be arrived al.
Upon motion OF Mr.. J. r. Green, the
whole matter was passed by. in order
that it might be considered in executive
session.
Mr.. Sims moved that the vote by which
Il was agreed TO consider the matter IN
executive session be reconsidered, as he
thought that it was a public matter,
which was 10 be looked into. and that
the public was entitled 10 know what was
done. His motion received no second.
Mr. Green stated that his object in
making the motion to go into executive
! session when he question was consid-
cred was 20 expedite business. He had
no doubt, he said. that the franchise
which had been granted the company
would have 10 be examined, and that
the matter would finally 80 before the
courts, and litigation ensLe.
The question was here allowed TO drop,
and the report Of the special committee
| appointed 10y the Council to look into the
question of compelling the electric com
pany TO make schedule time on their
Hull-street line, and TO keep their cars
on that line in good condition, was called

power 10 compel the company 10 run
their cars on the schedule agreed upon
