Council Meeting.

KS
The present council held what win
probably be its last meeting last
night, and 1T may be stated
that it was a meeting Of much
interest An ordinance vacating
a part Of Locust street was read and
passed, but it is understood that sev-
eral members Of council made a mis-
take in voting for the ordinance and
thought they were voting for q differ
ent street, most probably Clay. 1t is
hardly probable that any of Locust
street will be vacated.
A petition from the property owners,
from the Ohio Rapid Transit Com
pany was received. and also an ordin-
ance granting this company a right to
build a road over their proposed route.
The ordinance was that the company
should build the road with twelve
months and commence construction
within eight months, and have the cleo
trio road in operation within twelve
months. If not in operation within
this. time they pay the city $40 a day
until they have paid 81 900. The city
solicitor, Mr.. Cooke, made a warm
speech to the council in regard to this
ordinance, which was drawn up by par
ties outside of the city, and advised the
members not to railroad the ordinance
through council until they had fully
considered it, and in closing advised
council to, defer granting this fran
chise. Attorney J. c. Gray also asked
that council defer the granting OF the
franchise. The Ohio Rapid Transit
Company was represented by Attorneys
briggs and Heinlein. Mr.. A. V. Wll-
son, of Bridgeport. and Robert Hill, OF
Wheeling, were also present In he in
terest OF the company. After consid-
cradle debate by council the ordinance
was deferred until the next meeting by
a vote of five to four. 1t Is thought
council acted wisely, although there Is
some talk that some of the members
were slightly intimidated in voting for
the ordinance. 1t is also rumored that
the company is only a blind for the
Wheeling Traction Company, and that
they are asking for this franchise sim
ply to keep other people from securing
a franchise through this city. and
could well afford to pay the $1,000 and
not forfeit their franchise. All sorts Of
rumors are prevalent, and the above is
49, e.. .rl.& - a.. r,o.L Sc
learned that the people OF Martins Fer
ny are not so anxious to give away their
streets.
"A resolution was also passed agree
ing to pave Hanover street west OF
Tenth, providing the commissioners OF
the Martins Ferry and Colerain pike
will appropriate $3.50 as their part in
paving this street.
