Committee on Ordinances assembled
at the City Hall. last evening, with the
Mayor, City Solicitor, and a number OF
gentlemen interested in the enterprise,
and it was the general expectation that
the measure, printed copies of which
were on hand, as stated in the Regis
ter, yesterday, would be read. Instead
of this, however, after very short dis
cussion, the whole matter, including
the plat of the city showing the route
of the proposed line. was referred to
the Solicitor, for report at a meeting
to be called by the chair, upon nOtifi-
cation from the Solicitor. This action
taken, the Committee adjourned, the
session being over few minutes after
eight o'clock.
After the session some amusing criti-
cism was INDUCED in at the expense of
an evening paper, which stated in yes
terday's issue that it was unable to
give the exact route of the proposed
line" when, as matter Of fact, the
ordinance was printed in the Office OF
that paper and the editor is a leading
stakeholder and promoter of the enter
prise, and was present last evening.
The same paper also contained an
interview with a prominent labor
leader regarding the enterprise. The
gentleman quoted called at this office
last evening to deny the interview, and
said he had not been asked by any
reporter to give his views. He repudi-
ated the remarks attributed to him.
