The ordinance providing against
trains and engines blockinng the
streets by coming to stop, was read
for information.
Mayor Bell stated to the council
some reasons offered by Superintend-
cnt Peck why the ordinance should
not pass.
Alderman Meyer thought the ordi-
nance was a good one and suggested
the railway companies could cut their
trains in two at the various import
ant crossings.
Alderman We'll warmed up on the
railroad question, as he always does.
He suggested that a special commit

the company should not desire to ap-

His sarcastic remarks brought forth
from Mayor Bell the statement that IT

appoint Alderman We'll on the COM

could not control the council

to report at the next meeting. Mayor
Bell then appointed Aldermen Bruce,
We'll and Riley on the special COM

what the committee could do but sub
init it to the railroad companies for
their disapproval. He was not allowed
to withdraw his name.

defense of the railway companies.
