board OF commissioners was held yester-
day morning at II o'clock for the pur-
pose OF considering the ordinance
granting the Wheeling s. Elm Grove
Railway Company a right of way
along the pike east OF the city for its
reconstructed suburban road which is
to be operated by electricity, The
board was in session about an hour and
adjourned until the Fulton council has
decided on the route that 1t will grant
the company through that municipality.
After the meeting personalities We're In
dulged in by adherents OF either side or
the controversy and the fight for the
franchise in the county bids fair to be-
come quite warm before II Is settled.
When Clerk Moffat called the roll ev-
cry member OF the board answered, ten
in all, There was large lobby made
up Of suburban residents who are in-
slsting on certain changes In the ordi-
nance, and others who are lobbying OF
behalf OF the railroad company
A paper was read to the board by at
torneys representing the long distance
telephone company, stating that It
would resist the removal of It's poles
along the railroad right OF way that is
proposed to be granted unless the Elm
Grove will pay for the removal OF them.
The communication was aled and viii
be taken up later.
The Elm Grove ordinance then went
TO Its second reading. Section one was
read by Clerk Moffat, In substance 1t
is as follows:

sioners of Ohio County;
