CONSIDERED BY SECTIONS
THE ordinance. the granting of which
was notitioncd for by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company. was then taken
nm bv sections Mr.. Axtell offered an
amended ordinance which he said would
nrobable expedite matters If that were
i,sod nv the committee instead Of the orig
Gnal draft. This was accepted by the com
miffco. and the ordinance was read by
tho clerk and then taken mp seriatim.
and after the third section had been read
Mr. Axtcll explained. I'm answer to a
question asked by Mr.. King. that IL was
the intention Of his company not 10
have any grade crossings In Fulton
after the yiaduct had been completed.
After 80 had been explained by the rail
road authorities. that the present wooden
trostle 0f the company. east Of Thir-
foonth street. was 10 be removed Mr..
King wanted 10 have a provision added.
that the existing overhead bridge at the
foot of Eigth street should be removed,
and that grade crossing be establish
ed there with the usual protection thrown
around st.
Mr.. Axtell thought this was impractical
ble on account of the local traffic that
would have 10 start from there. I'm the
interest Of street travel the street at
that point should remain closed. as. i'm
fact. 70 had never been open except FOR
a few months.
TO OPEN EIGHTH STREET.
Mr. King moved that a clause be at
tached To the section providing tnat
Eighth street be opened at that point.
The amendment was adopted after some
little discussion. The section was then
adopted as amended.
WANTS TO ADJOURN.
