BEFORE COUNCIL AGAIN.
Street Railway Franchises VIII BE
Considered Tonight.

The principal matter before the City
Council at the meeting tonight will be
the street railway franchises asked for
by Mr.. D. B. Lester and Mr.. ]. S. Co.
Inns. The city attorney will submit an
ordinance that he was directed to draught
upon the agreement reached in Commit
tee of the Whole last week. A route for
Mr.. Lester was then decided upon, but
various conditions were imposed, and all
these will be embraced in the ordinance.
Mr.. Lester has friends who have been
working hard on his behalf. They want to
see him given the franchises he wants,
believing that the street railway that
would result would prove of great advan-
tage to Savannah. Two petitions were cir
cuiated yesterday, one to Alderman d.
r. Thomas and the other to Alderman
John Schwarz, and each had about 125
signatures. All who were approached
signed very cheerfully. The petition adj
dressed to Alderman Thomas read as fol-
lows:
1--WE are deeply interested in every
thing that tends to build up Savannah,
and we know of no enterprise that will
do more towards that end than an cleo
trio railway connecting Savannah with
White Bluff We understand a resolution
offered by yourself a few days ago in
reference to same is likely to defeat the
plan petitioned for by Messrs Twiggs &
Oliver, attorneys, and we trust that you
will withdraw said resolution and vote for
the resolution offered by Alderman Mis-"
The petition is signed by Albert N. HILL
