The expected has happened.
Yesterday morning the Intelllgencer

applicant for before council, at the

predicted that both branches would give
the measure a tWo-thirds majority and
that the amendments believed to be Inn

ing the one making the guage Of the
tracks Eve feet two inches. would be
defeated.
All OF this was carried out last night.

fight was waged with vigor, the oppo-
sition tn the Elm Grove ordinance In
the second branch being but a drop IN

the vote by which the ordinance was
finally passed. In the first, however

After passing the Elm Grove ordi-

amendments had been made. all OF
them favorable to the Peoples COM
