VIEWS OF CAPTAIN MILLS.
He Thinks Traction Company Should
Make Some Concessions.

While Councilman Morgan R. Mills is
in favor OF allowing the Traction Com
pany's cars to run over the Main Street
tracks from First to Eighteenth. ne is
opposed to passing tho OfdrnanC=t IN its
present shape.
Il shall light the proposition looking
TO another cross-town line said Captain
Mills, and L am, therefore, not in favor
OF permitting the Traction cars to come
Gown Eighth Street. l think it but Just
and right that the Traction Company b,
allowed TO run its cars down Main Street
from FIRST to Eighteenth The Passenger
and Power Companys cars will run over
seventeen blocks OF the fractions terri
tory, and tne Traction would use nin5reen
BLOCKS OF tina Passenger and Power Com
pdny'S tracks. | don't think the Trac-
ton Company ought to expect more than
to be allowed to come down Main Street
from First to Eighteenth, which, in my
opinion, are the reciprocal rights con-
tanned IN the ordinances.
Il am opposed as l have said, to the
ordinance In its present shape, for its
passage would mean another new line.
And | am not in favor Of that provision
which says the Traction Company shall
enjoy the rights granted by their ordinance

for the rights conferred by the ordinance
I want the Traction Company 10 agree
to have its wires put under ground when

done. II the Traction Company will
make these concessions 1 will vote to
allow its cars to come down Main Street.
Yesterday I had conference with
Messrs. Bamiss, Meredith and Waddey
and told them I thought they should
be willing to make these concessions,
but they would not consent to do So
While, as have stated, 1 think the
Traction Company should be permitted
to uss a portion of the Main-Street
