Siding for Lakeside Line.
called meeting of the Council Com
mittee OIL Streets was held in Room No.
s Of the City Hall at o'clock, at which
two important matters were considered.
Those in attendance were Chairman AL
len and Messrs .Bahen, Bloomberg. Bur-
ton. Ebel. Foster, John NJ. and John j.
King Pollock, and Woody.
After the reading of the minutes Mr..
Pollock moved reconsideration of the
action of the committee, by which the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany was directed to pull its spur track
at the intersection of Main and Beech
streets. This was adopted, and after
brief argument the matter was laid upon
the table.
The report of the subcommittee APP
pointed to look into the expediency of
granting the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company TO put down siding
TO accommodate two cars. at the cor
ner Of First and Broad streets. i'm order
that cars may stand there to accommo-
date passengers for Lakeside Park
Mr.. Bahen thought If the committee
was going to grant such privilege at
this point. IT should allow double
track between Marshall and Broad
streets so as to do both the public and
the company some good. The sub-com-
mittee recommended siding long
enough to accommodate two cars. Mr..
Bahen said he lived on First street. and
that II was only matter of time when
the committee would have TO give the
company the right to put down a double
track from Broad street to the viaduct.
the travel upon that line was increasing
so rapidly.
The company asked for q siding which
would accommodate three cars. this be-
ing the number generally necessary for
picnics etc
1t was finally decided that the COM
pany should have permission to con-
struct siding sufficient to accommodate
two cars. The body then adjourned.
