The first slilrmish was on the propo-
sltIon outlined in this section by which
the road is given n right OF way along
Bridge street to the pike at Hellers. II
was represented by suburban residents
that the occupancy OF this narrow
street would not only make 1t almost
impassable, but that at the bottom
where the tracks cross the street very
dangerous place for vehicles would be
found. 1t was suggested by Mr.. Spe!del
that the route might be changed. In
stead of coming up to the pike OIL
Bridge street, 1t could be DETECTED at
the foot OF Bridge across the Thomp-
son field TO junction with the present
tracks Mt Stackyard hollow. Mr.. Rus
sell, for the Elm Grove company, said
that he had telegraphed Senator Cam
den regarding the requirement OF the
right of way across the Thompson field.
but had received no answer and he had
little faith in the probability OF securing
a right OF way across the field. Mr..
Speldel felt sure Senator Camden, be-
ing a business man.. he would answer
the telegram or letter sent by the elm
Grove people.
General Alfred Caldwell. on behalf OF
the suburban residents. spoke for the
Joining of the Elm Grove tracks at
Stackyard hollow. He strenuousfy OBJ
jected to the laying OF tracks on Center
or Bridge street In Fulton. A track
there will make It Il point Of great dan-
ger. The running OF track along the
route of the old horse car line through
Thompson's field to junction with tho
present line. would do away with thii.
danger. He asked that the grant from,
the county be made to start at STAG
yard hollow. Then the company can go
ahead and condemn the property in
Thompson's field.
To get the matter before the board,
Mr.. Faris, OF Liberty, proposed an
amendment by which the new line
starts at Staekyard hollow on the pike.
Mr.. Hess, of Webster, seconded the
amendment.
Mr.. Fritz. OF Richie. did not wish to
delay matters. Mr. Russell said con-
demnation proceedings could not be be-
gun until September and could not ba
completed before November.
Mr.. Speidel suggested that consldera-
ton OF the ordinance be delayed until
Mr.. Camden be heard from. Mr.. Rus
sell was not sanguine of success in ne
gotlatlons with Senator Camden. Mr.,
Speldel felt sure he would reply to the
telegram sent by the Wheeling & Elm
Grove company.
Mr.. Faris' amendment, changing the
route, was then voted on and resulted
in tie vote, carrying the defeat Of the
amendment. The vote was as follows:
Aye - Burkett, Faris, Hare, Hess.
Speidel; total s.
No - Fritz, Glass, Klndelberger, Ty-
son, McGregor; total g.
Mr.. Fritz then moved postponement
of consideration of the ordinance. anu
the motion prevailed. The Fulton coun
ell will act, after which the commissions
ers will take 1t up again, probably next
Monday.
