Railroads VIII Get Ernuchises.
A prominent member Of the Street Com
mitee, who was also member Of the
subcommittee, said to a Dispatch man last
night that the ordinances asked for by
the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Rich
mond. Petersburg and Carolina Railroad
companies would undoubtedly, be report
cd promptly by the general committee.
and that no bond penalty would be re-
Quired.
The bond clause, he thinks, will GER
tainly be left In the ordinance but no
amount will be fixed. Being asked If he
knew positively that the committee would
take this action, the gentleman replied
afiirmatively. asserting that he had made
a canvass of the membership ana knew
how each man would vote. He was also
OF the opinion that the Council would
pass the ordinances without requiring a
bond OF The companies. but he was not i'm
"a position to speak positively concerning
that body, because he had not made a
thorough canvass of the councllmen.
The ordinances will come up before the
street Committee Monday night, and will
probably be disposed OF by that body the
same evening.
