IN AGREEMENT REACHED
Between tho Martins Fsrry City
Council
AND THE WHEELING RAILWAY
COMPANY, BY WHICH THE LINES
OF THE COMPANY WILL BE
GREATLY INCREASED-CONCE
SIONS MADE ON BOTH SIDES,

The city council OF Martins Ferry
and the Wheeling Street Railway Com
pany, after several months OF wrang-
ling, have at last reached an agreement
whereby the Company is granted the
privilege OF extending their line from
its present terminus at Fourth and
Walnut street. to Sherman avenue, in
the northern part OF the town.
The agreement. however, was not
reached until both parties had conced-
ed several points 10 the other. In
fact. matters were more or less conn
promised in a sort OF way.
The meeting OF the council last eve
ming was an adjourned one, for the
purpose of taking up the street railway
ordinance. consequently all members
were present-also Attorneys Erskine
and Duncan, of the Railway Company,
and Mr.. Holloway, one of the direc-
tors.
Attorney Duncan presented new
ordinance, which varied in some re-
spects from the original one, as fol-
lows: Instead of laying the track up
Fourth street to Elliott, and then to
Fifth, as proposed by Council in the
original ordinance, they proposed go
ing up Fourth street to Hanover and
then to Fifth street. This change was
not objected to, and was inserted in the
ordinance. Another change of route
was asked for, providing the Railway
Company could secure it either by law
or agreement with the B. B. & NJ. r.
Company. 1t is to be allowed to use
the B. b. & NJ F. line from Center
street to Sherman avenue thence on a
line of their own 10 Main street, to
Center, thence on Union street to Cen
ter, where they again use the =. b. &
NJ. f. read TO the lower end of town,
thus forming a loop. Should they be
unable to do this the line shall extend
from Fifth street on Center to Main,
on Main to Sherman avenue, and then
return over the same route. AS this
does not materially change the route
the concession was granted.
Another change in the new ordi-
nance from the original was that the
company should pay the fair present
value Of all the brick paving over
which the proposed line will be built
Council objected to this at first, but
matters were finally compromised by
placing the value at 95 cents per square
yard.
The fare was the next matter taken
into consideration. The ordinance
provides that if two bridges to Wheel
ing at any time become free bridges
the fare shall be five cents from Mar
.-t..--s- --v44y wLooItaae, anu oLuuiu
one bridge become free then the fare
shall be six cents.
The company agreed to pay the
costs OF all cases now pending in the
courts against them
Everything having been arranged
satisfactory the ordinance as it was
amended was passed as read to its
third and last reading, thus granting
the company the privilege Of extending
their line, providing it is done within
the time specified.
