GIVEN ANOTHER FRANCHISE
STREET RAILWAY TO RUN
THROUGH COMO PARK

ny's PrOtest-Lst of sa1Oonkeep-
ers Who Were Granted Licenses.
An ordinance was passed last night
by the board of aldermen that gives
the street railway company the right
to run a part of it's new interurban
line through Como park in such a way
as to cut off some forty acres Of the
park.
The ordinance was framed by means
Of a contract with the park board 1t
went through by vote Of to 2,
MeSsrs. Donahower and Kenny being
| recorded as against it.
Aid. Donahower voted no because he
knew nothing of the provisions of the
| ordinance, which was voted on while
it was still being changed by the city
attorney, and Aid. Kenny voted no
| because he thought it had been framed
in the interest of Minneapolis and with
the sole view of taking the trade ara
| patronage of the people who came 10
| the state fair to the city up the river.
Aid. Kenny was still protesting when
| the ordinance was read by it's title for
| the second time and put on it's final
| passage.
| The ordinance was a substitute for
one introduced in the board two weeks
| ago by Aid. Allard. 1t was not ready
| for submission last night, and was
| framed during an informal recess that
| was taken. .
| All of the aldermen We're present, and
| the street railway ordinance was not
! the first bone Of contention. There
was a good deal of routine business in
the passage of payrolls and prelimi-
nary orders. A resolution of Aid Shop
| ard to locate some gasoline lights in
his ward called forth a protest from
Aid. Kaldunsk.
Shepard wants lights put out here
| to light up his corn fields" said the
alderman from the Eighth.
You needn't worry" retorted Shep-
ard, you won't have any corn fields
| after the first Of the month"
An ordinance providing for the con-
summation of a proposed agreement
| between the city and the Milwaukee
railroad regarding the levee property
and the bridge on Summit avenue was
passed, Aid. DonahoWer vehemently
protesting against being obliged to vote
for measure that he had never heard
| read. 1t was explained by the corpo-
| ration attorney.
| A batch CT twenty-seven licenses were
called up and passed, and then Mr.
| Donahower wanted to know why the
| Risdale license to permit w. H. Griffin
| to sell liquor was not acted upon. To
| get the matter before the body he NOV
ed that the Risdale license be taken
from the committee on licenses and
granted.
Aid. Kaldunski seconded the motion.
President Bigelow declared the mo-
ton out of order, holding that after
an application had been refused by the
assembly the same application did not
! have any standing before the alder
! manic body.
81 just wanted to know" said Mr..
! Donahower, and sat down.

Then came UP the street railway mat

his protest, and while he was at it, Mr..
