efforts on Broad Street if the Traction
Company would give up its Maln-Streel
fight, and the latter gentleman replled IN

he had heard on the streets during the

NEW RESOLUTION.
When the argument had been concluded
Mr.. Whittet offered the following as
solution of the whole trouble:
Whereas, in subsection :! of section
+ OF an ordinance approved December -,
lS!9. To authorize the construction ana
operation of a street railway within the
. limits of the city of Richmond by the
Richmond Passenger and Power Com
pany, it is provided that this committee
may from time to time require a different
service of said company. or chanSe us
schedules: and whereas this committee
is of opinion that the said Richmond Pas
senser and Power Company should be re-
CURED to,furniSh a service from I1o!ly-
wood down Main Strcetto Fulton in addl-
ton to the service required of it on its
Broad-Street line: now therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Richmond PaSSen-
ger and Power Company be. and the SAID
company is hereby. required to run its
cars on a tiVe-ninutes' schedule each
way over its line from Hollywood, Laurel
and Main, and down Main to Fulton,
thence returning by the same route TO
Hollywood, in addition 10 the five
minutes service alreadN required of said
company on its Hollywood line down
Broad Street; and in addition. also. to the
service required on the Main-Street line
of the said company
The Chair called attention to the fact
that the petition and ordinance of the
Richmond Traction Company to operate
cars on Main Street was before the body
and would have to be acted on before the
resolution of Mr. Whittet could be
considered.
Mr.. Mills moved to amend the minority
report Of the subcommittee by striking
out that part of it which gives the right
to the Traction Company TO run down
Seventh Street, but the Chair ruled that
the committee could not amend report
of n, subcommittee.
