The question as to the paving OF the
sidewalks OF Broad street from Sixth TO
Adams with granolithic paving was first
taken up. 4 large number OF the proper
~ owners were opposed to the improve
ment, but the committee decided to
recommend the same TO the Council
THE TRACTION COMPANY.
Mr.. King submitted a petition from the
Richmond Traction Company asking the
committee 10 specify what was meant
with the provision that work on the
construction OF their road be commenced
within ten days after the granting Of the
franchise The paper explained that the
company had been busily engaged in max
ing the necessary preparations for the
commencing OF the work. making con-
tracts. etc, and that a delay had been
caused In the procuring Of the rails
prescribed by the city Engineer. The
rails had TO be rolled to order. but would
be shipped by October 10th or 18th.
Mr. King moved that the company be
allowed thirty days In which to begin
with the laying of the rails upon the
Broad-strcet route.
Colonel Cutshaw, the city Engineer.
suggested that IL would probably save
time and be more satisfactory TO give the
company at least a couple OF months, or
until October 10Th, in which 10 commence
10 lay the tracks. He said that the trac-
ton people might employ the time in
which they were waiting for rails IN
placing crOss-ties and other MARTIAL upon
the ground. so that the laying OF track
could begin just as soon as the rails ar
rived. After some discussion, in which
Mr.. Bl0Ombcrg said that he would not
after this vote for another extension of
time for the company. the committee de
cided that IL considered the placing of
the ties and other materials convenient
