The Benwood Council held a regular
meeting last evening and adjourned
without considering the petition of the
Wheeling Railway Company for a
franchise to remove their tracks from
the central part of town to Kentucky
Heights in order to avoid the danger
u B. & o. railroad crossings at
Schad's place and near the Wheeling
iron and steel plant. AS it was the
last meeting of the old Council before
the coming municipal election, this &C
ton is generally looked upon as a
virtual turning down of the ordi-
nance"
The session was called to order at
the usual hour and after all the city
business before the body had been
transacted Chairman Geraghty and Mr..
Dolan, of the Ordinance Committee, in
turn made some remarks with refer
ence to the petition of the Railway
Company and there was a brief discus
sion between the two, as to who had
been vested with authority to bring
the ordinance before the Council. At
this juncture MI. Barrett arose and
said: LAS there seems to be a misun-
derstanding, / move we adjourn"
There was a prompt second and the
motion carried, five favoring and three
opposing it.
The vote or the motion was as fol-
lows: Ayes-Mesrs. William Sea-
bright, James E. Barrett, August Hepe,
Luke Sauers and j. j. Cusack. Noes
Messrs. Charles Holderman, James E.
Geraghty and Michael D. Dolan.
The meeting was attended by a large
lumber of the representative citizens
and Attorney j. j. Coniff, representing
the company. Many expected the or
dinance to come up for consideration
and cause a warm and interesting de-
bate between those for and against
the proposed change, and they were
disappointed in this respect. After
the adjournment of the body, the enc
mics seemed to be highly pleased with
the course of events and with smiles
and approving mods congratulated each
other upon what they considered was
a Knockout. blow to the ordinance. AS
heretofore chronicled two or three
meetings of the Committee on Ordi-
nances and the company's representa-
tives were held last week and conces-
sions being made by both sides, the
ordinance was amended, with a view
of bringing about a satisfactory
change in the line. The company
agreed, 81 it is said, that in order to
secure the right of placing a double
track on the hillside east of the B. &
0. road to extend the tracks along the
principal thoroughfares to Eight
street, run a car through the town on
schedule time, to place waiting sta
lions at the head of Fourth and
Eighth streets and an overhead bridge
at the head of Sixth street, to provide
a twenty-foot road space along the
heights and to ask only a five cent
fare from Sauer's Junction to North
Wheeling.
1t is thought that the vote on the
motion to adjourn was a test vote
only to learn how the members stood
in regard to the proposed change.
After the present Council hands over
the unfinished business to the new
Council it will remain to be seen how
the ordinance will be disposed of. 1t
will be remembered that a recent mass
meeting of the voters of Benwood,
many of the candidates for Council
pledged themselves against the ordi-
nance
