GROOVED RAILS.
Committee on Railroads Will Favor
Their Introduction.
Union Company Will Probably Use Them
In All NV and Renewal Work.

A member OF the joint standing COM
mittee on railroads of the City Council
told News reporter this afternoon that
the committee was in favor of groerea
rails for'the streets of the city and that In
all probability the Union Railroad Com
plny would put down that kind of track
IN all now and rebuilt part Of their work
and extension. AS matter of fact the
committee could have had that pattern
OF rail In all the streets lately occupied by
Union Railroad Company. Washington
street could have been thus equipped If
the committee.had thought about 1t.
The committee will have meeting
tomorrow afternoon and talk about the
business. 1t Is more than likely that an
amendment TO the present ordinance re-
lating TO street railways will be offered at
the next meeting of the Council and that
amendment will be- framed tomorrow 1t
will say that the joint committee on rail
roads of the City Council shall have super
vision over the size, shape and position of
all rails 10 be hereafter placed in the
streets Of the city This will include all
new work in streets 10 be hereafter occu-
pied and all repairing This Is not sup
posed TO apply ~ minor repairs such as
the replacing OF broken or damaged rails,
but To all work of any appreciable
extent This seems TO indicate that the
grooved rail is popular with the COM
mittee.
