president was the one act which did net
give away any right OF the city OF Provi-
d&nce"
SIr. West Attacks the Committee.
Mr.. West of Ward 10 was the only mem
ber to speak In opposition to the action
OF the special committee. He said:
~ dislike to say great deal tonight
to the members OF this committee; dis
like very much TO find fault with the
not to deny the discussion Of this mat
ter. j think some of the things are we'll
worth criticism. / intend to criticise
them in a pleasant, gentlemanly way. i
never could find out why this committee
was appointed; never saw any reason
the resolution was introduced, because the
city solicitor states that you could COM
pei the railroad company to build cross
town lines without any further legisla-
tion. i cannot see any reason why IL
was appointed TO get transfer tickets
976 gives you that right. In the act OF
1881 there Is paragraph that says that
the Union Railroad Company shall build
cross-town lines whenever ordered to do
so by the City Council, and il not within
a year their franchise is forfeited. That
is so plain and clear that you cannot help
seeing it. In 1898 the city assenteo to the
condition OF receiving per cent. OF the
gross earnings of the cable tramway COM
pany. 1t was forced on you; you were not
obliged to accept 1t. Now II does not re-
quire great deal OF power to see that II
was there that this city mado an error
and when this act was passed, submit
to the learned gentlemen OF this Council
who are attorneys IL those two acts were
not regarded as imperfectly drawn. They
were acts through which a coach and
four might be driven. The argument of
the gentleman from the Sixth Ward in
reference to the impossibilities OF the
legislature, / think
Falls to tho Ground
when you consider that the minute you
make q contract the legislature cannot
step in and interfere. AS an instance of
this, Mr.. West referred to the Broadway
Surface Railroad, New York. Continu-
ing, Mr.. West said, agree with the gen.
tlemen from the Sixth Ward that the term
of the contract will be 25 years; i agree
with him that II gives us the right, IL
we see fit, to make contracts with the
Union Railroad Company. II you get the
first paragraph out OF that act, no man
can object to IL. But it seems to me that
the poison is in the first paragraph, for
the person who drafted that act knew
too well that 1t was unnecessary to have
that first section. / think you will
agree with me that this resolution was
introduced by somebody who knew ex-
