SO Decided at a Special Meeting OF
the AIdermen-Other Business.
There was special meeting of the
Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon.
The matter of chief Importance was the
fixing CT time for hearing on the

Alderman Thompson read the petition
of the railroad company asking that 1t be
allowed to locate it's track from the inter-
section of Cross and Fore streets along
Fore street to Market to Federal to Monu-
ment square, thence between the tracks
of the Portland Railroad to the southerly
line of Congress street 1t asks for

street, upon which it is desired to lay
double track. 1t also asks permission for

represented parties owning and occupying
property on Federal street. He stated
that it would be more satisfactory to
him If notice of two weeks could be
given before the hearing. The Supreme

ing was to occur in one week.
'sThe Supreme court does not sit in the
evening" suggested Alderman Randall
Mr.. Bird replied: "The Supreme court
does not us ually sit in the evening, but
those who have business before the Su-
preme court sometimes have to sit in the
evening""

that they would have to be absent ii the
hearing was postponed for two weeks.

the electric road, said that it was neces-
sary to have the hearing as soon as
