TIC RAILWAY QUESTION.
MEETING OF BENWOOD COUNCIL
COMMITTEE HELD LAST
EVENING
DID NOT RESULT MATERIALLY
In E6ectfng q Compromise Regard
ing the Petition for the Removal
of the Wheeling Railway Tracks.
Another Committee Meeting to be
HeId-Other Benwood News.

A special meeting Of the Council
| Committee on Ordinances was held at
Benwood last evening in regard to the
| petition of the Wheeling Railway Com
pany for a franchise to remove their
tracks from the principal thorough
| fares of the town to the hillside east
of the B. & o. road.
The business before the committee
was transacted in executive session,
and after the meeting it was learned
| that the company was reluctant TO
accept the proposition as offered by
the committee at its meeting Monday
! night as a possible means of settling
the question. Both sides offered to
make concessions with a view of effect
ing a compromise in the matter, and
it is very likely that one or two more
| committee meetings will be held be-
fore the next regular session of Coun-
Gil.
1t is the desire of the committee
that the present tracks remain along
| Main and McMechen streets and be eX-
tended to Eighth, that a car be run
| regularly through the town every
| seven minutes and the passengers be
given transfers, and that the fare be
five cents for a single trip over the
line between Wheeling and Sauer's
switch at the Junction. The company
desires to place a double track along
the hillside, and has signified its will
ingness to provide to pave the territory
and provide a road space ten feet
! wide along the entire course in ques-
ton. 1t is also learned that the COM
pany considers the fare as suggested
by the company as unsatisfactory.
In speaking of the proposed change,
one of the leading citizens said yes
and others will soon present to Council
a petition, or request, with a view of
having the B. & 0. Railroad Company
to place safety gates or watchmen at
| the crossings instead of electric bells
as a means Of warning to travellers.
He also stated that this petition or re-
quest was thought of before the pres
ent controversy came up between the
| company and the Benwood Council, as
the electric bells at the railroad cross
ings ring >irregularly and often trav.
elers are unable to determine whether
or not a train is approaching. 1t is
the opinion of the citizens that the
| suggested car service through the town
would be a nuisance which would
eventually remove itself, and are in
hopes that the present service will.
+ While the citizens unanimously op-
pose such a change being made and
| desire the present service to be re-
tanned, the friends of the ordinance
are hopeful of success. The company
was represented by Attorney J. j..
Coniff, of Wheeling, at last evenings
meeting.
