DISCUSS THE QUESTION.
The action of the City Council Friday
niglt in regard to the street railway
ordinance and that body's bold stand
taken for the reduced fare over
Mayos Bridge to Richmond was
discussed yesterday by many.
The move is a most popular one among
the people. but the question involved
seems to be with those who nave given
the matter thought whether it is wise
step to take. it may Jesuit in repeal
ing the entire ordinance. and thus pre-
vent the city from enjoying other advan-
tages its adoption would bring.
DR.. William Mathews, president OF the
Business Mems Association, IN speaking
of the {. ton Of the Council IL regard to
the new ordinance. said:
Il believe the Council has taken a step
in the right direction: 1 believe the rail-
way company will have to give the six
/ tickets for % cents over Lagos Bridge
as a business proposition. and by so do
ing they viii greatly increase their travel
on Hull Street. In my opinion said
DR.. Mathews, the great mass of the
people of Manchester want this reduced
rate, and what the people want they US
ually get
II think the Council has takenhthe prop
CT stand, and should firmly hold their
position in regard 10 the reduced fare
over Mayo's bridge" said Mr.. D. L. Pull
| liam, soon after the Council meeting
