not opposed to helping roads through the
city, but was opposed to running hog
and vegetable freight cars on Y street.
How was 1t going to build up the street
to run freight cars over it? Has it built
up Il street? He would like 10 see half a
dozen roads come to the city, but he knew
his constituents were opposed to it. The
board was giving away valuable fran
chlse for almost nothing, which will in a
few years amount to great matter.
Devlne said that, Notwithstanding his
high regard for the remonstrants, he must
vote Tor the road in the interest of the
city. he thought the cars would be pre-
sentab.e.
Kent would like to see twenty trains
day. He did not believe the freight cars
would be left standing on the street. He
peheved the cars would have to be built
either here or at the colony, and the ma
terial would be bought in this city.
IoZer was in favor of Y street for
freight road, and he did not believe many
years would elapse before the city would
otter it to some company. He should
vote for the franchise, however.
The roll was then called and the fran
chise granted, Leonard and Wachhorst
voting no.
