1t is understood that the City Coun-
Gil is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
enacting an ordinance compelling all
trains to keep the running speed down
to six miles an hour while passing
through the city limits. This, as a

trains at the IroDton station. The
Company has so persistently ignored

that the plan OF retaliation meets with
general approval.
