street was reached Mr.. Meredith was
given the floor in behalf Of the Traction
Company, the chairman explaining for
the committee that the committee would
not. under any consideration, permit four
tracks on Broad street or the use of mule
cars on that thoroughfare Dir. Meredith
stated that the question resolved itself
into very simple proposition. He did not
think the Richmond Passenger and
Power Company should be given the right
10 use the Traction COmpanys tracks
without quid pro quo.
Mr. Martin agreed with Mr.. Meredith
as to this. but doubted If the committee
was proceeding in form to consider the
question of dual use Of tracks at this
Mr.. Meredith, continuing. made a
strong appeal to the committee, urging
them not 10 cut the throat Of the Trac-
ion Company by placing its tracks and
He thought interchangeable transfers was
the solution Of the whole trouble.
WOULD NOT SURRENDER.
Mr.. Bloomberg asked if the Richmond
Passenger and Power Company would
surrender its rights 10 operate on Broad,
Laurel. Ninth, and Eighth streets. Mr..
Martin gave a most emphatic negative
reply Mr. BlOOmberg then advocated the
granting OF the franchise Incorporating
the provision that the company should be
required to run over the Traction Com
pany's tracks on Broad street.
Mr.. Meredith stated that If the commit
tee would provide for the' use by the
Traction Company of a like distance on
the new companys tracks. he should be
very glad 10 see the new company on
the Traction Companys Broad-street
tracks.
The question was discussed at consider
able length. and Mr.. Pollock offered a mo-
tion that the routes be left temporarily
as they now are. This motion was lost
and IL was finally decided to pass by the
BrOad-street matter
The Frankln-street route was taken
up but IL also was passed by. and the
committee then adjourned until to-mor-
row evening at O'Clock
The Committee on Health met last
night and approved the pay-rols of the
department Nothing but routine bust
ness was transacted.

When the routes were under cOnsidera-
