Prior.
The Cook jury came In at 1880 last
night enabling its foreman, Alderman
Charles G. Nichols, to reach city hall by
s o'clock 80 the special session of the
Board was held without any trouble.
The business for which the members
were called together was to take action
on the transfer committee resolution in
reference to the General Assembly.
Roth the majority and the minority re-
ports were read by title. The following
resolution was passed in concurrence and
tho Mayor appointed Alderman Mccarthy
and Burbank:
Resolved, That the city solicitor, to-
gether with Messrs. West, Rathbone
Gardner, Kavanagh and Tanner of the
Common Council, and such as the Board
OF Aldermen may appoint, be and they
are hereby Instructed to make application
TO the General Assembly at its present
session for such legislation by amendment
of the charter of the Union Railroad
Company as will require said company to
issue to every person who pays a cash fare
on any OF the street railway lines of said
company or upon the lines of the Provi-
dence Cable Tramway Co., operated by
said Union Railroad Go. within the city
limits, a transfer ticket which Will entitie
such person to continue his journey on
any intersecting line TO any other point
within the city limits, not in the same
general direction from which he came;
and said committee is instructed to enter
into.no negotiations with the Union Rail-
road Company before the Legislature and
TO consent to no compromise legislation.
1he passage of the above resolution and
the routine transaction of a little busi-
ness in the way of dance and svill
Licenses was all that was anticipated by
those who are not familiar with the per-
son from the Second Ward. AS Alderman
Mccarthy once said "one would think
that the member from the Second Ward
was under oath three or four times be-
cause he talks SO much" Last night he
spoke for 30 minutes in an endeavor to
kill the Common Council resolution to
have the sanitary conditions of Bridg-
ham street school Immediately improved.
He thought that 1t would be narrow or
something OF that sort, and Alderman
Nichols thought that the cost in dollars
and cents should be considered first, al
though the cost in the health of teachers
time.
However, the resolution was passed ty
q vote of four TO three: Ayes Aldermen
Little, Mccarthy, Richards and Pierce.
Noes-Aldermap Nichols, Winsor and
Furbank. Aldermen Fuller, Darcy and
