Agreement Which the Company En-
ters Into with the City.

Lie pTSulCllOlS Oh MANY people were real
lied yesterday morning when General Man
ager MCGOWAN, of the Indianapolis Street
railway Company. appeared before the
Board Of Public Works and announced that
he had consulted with his associates and had
been authorized by them to accept the
proposition of the board as submitted the
day before. 1t only required about five min
utes for all parties to come to an under
standing, and as soon as Mr.. MCGOWAN had
affixed his signature along with III. p. Was
son as president and DR.. Henry Jameson as
secretary the latter impressed the seal of
the company to the document and passed it
over to the members of the Board of Works.
President Downing was the first to sign it,
and then w. Scott Moore and T. j. Mont
gomery followed. There was some dispute
as to whether Mayor Taggart's signature
was necessary, but after City Attorney Kern
gave his opinion that in any event no harm
would be done by having i there the mayor
put his name along with the others. The
only change made in the original contract
was the substitution of the word railway
in the title of Indianapolis Street-railway
Company, which in the contract read I'm
dianapolis Street-railroad."
Before the contract was signed Mr.. Nc
board. setting forth the purposes of the
new company. 1t was along the same lines
as the statements printed in the Journal
from time to time to the effect that the first
thing the company proposed to do was to
put the Accent fare into operation, and that
this move would be followed by extensive
and complete improvements as fast as the
company could make them. According 70
Mr. MCGOWAN the subordinate management
of the road will continue about the same.
