BY a unanimous vote OF the directors
of the Street and Sewer Department, at
a meeting this morning, it was de-
cided to reconsider the motion to allow
the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany, to lay its tracks on Sixth street,
and granted the franchise to the Will
mington and Brandywine Springs
Company.
There was no representative of either
of the contending companies at this
mornings meeting of the board, al
though it was rumored that some ac-
tion in the railway matter was con-
templated by the directors.
1t was after routine business had
been transacted that Mr.. Webster said:
"Mr. President, I move that the board
reconsider its vote of last Tuesday. al
lowing the Wilmington City Railway
Company the use of Sixth street
ond the motion" said Director
C-rlcr
When President Simmons put the
motion all the directors voted in the
affirmative.
President Simmons then presented a
resolution granting the use Of Sixth
street from the city line to Sixth and
Church streets, to the Wilmington and
Brandywine Springs Company.
The resolution was adopted without
a dissenting voice, when a motion fol-
its adoption was made by Mr.. Carter
seconded by Mr.. Webster.
The resolution granting the fran
chise to the new company is similar il
nearly every clause to the one adopted
at the last meeting, allowing the use o
the street to the old company, and diff
fers only from the petition originally
presented to the board by the Brandy
wine Springs Company inasmueh a.
that company is now allowed the US.
Of Sixth street from the city line t,
Church street.
In its petition, the use of the stree
only as far east as Market was asked
There are several clauses in the reso
lutlons adopted by the board, the frs
of which grants the use Of Sixth stree
for its entire length.
Clause 2 provides that groove rail
be laid east from Broome street an
that the company pave between it
tracks and on three feet each side {
them. ;g g
Section provides for the erectio
of wire and poles for operating the lin
and gives the city the right to use sai
poles for stringing wires for lightin
purposes.
Section is to the effect that ii
company shall sprinkle the street {
the direction of the Street and Sew
Department.
Section 8 provides that all work
laying the tracks shall be done by Il
company.
In article 6 the company is require
to indemnify the mayor and City Cou
Gil OF Wilmington from any suits arr
ing from the construction and oper
ton of the line.
Section 7 states that the wilmingt
and Brandywine Springs Compa
shall agree to the resolutions as

SOME DISCUSSION.
There was some discussion regarding
that part Of section ? which provides
that the company should pave between
and three feet on each side of the
tracks. Mr.. Carter stated that he un-
derstood that President Simmons was
in favor of having the company pave
the street from curb to curb and had
come into the board room with that be-
lief.
"You are certainly mistaken" said
President Simmons.
"well, I never heard you say so di-
rectly. but I certainly got that impress
sion some place
Mr.. Webster stated that he also was
under that impression. but had net
heard it directly from Mr.. Simmons.
Gentlemen" said President Sim
mons. Il have never made such an as
sertion, and I do not know where you
got the impression from. But / will
say this. and that is am in favor Of
passing an ordinance compelling all
street railway companies to pave from
curb to curb, but I do not think it fair
to compel this company TO do so on one
street and allow the other company to
operate all over the city under the old
regulations"
How about requiring the Whining
ton and Brandywine Springs to sprin-
kle the street?" queried Mr.. Carter.
THAT was its own proposition" was
the reply. and I think it a great bene-
fit to the city"
The resolution was adopted as drawn
it having been remodelled to some ex-
tent from the original resolution
drawn by the board permitting the use
Of the street to the BrandywinC
Springs Company.
GENERALLY COMMENDED.
The action of the Street and Sewer
directors in reconsidering their former
motion, granting the use Of Sixth stree
to the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany, and giving the right of way L
the Wilmington and Brandywin
Springs Company is generally com
mended throughout the city, especiall
among those who felt that the neV
company had been unfairly treated d
the matter Of granting the franchise b
the department. Heretofore the direc
l tors have been subjected to much ad
verse criticism in the matter. but it
said that their action to-day will NEE
with the approval of almost the entir
community After this morning
meeting the directors were PERSONAL
congratulated by a number Of peopl
:or the stand they have taken.
