The city council met in committee
of the whole yesterday to further
consider the latest proposition for an
interurban line from Clinton to this
city. presented by Mrs. \. NJ. Butler
and her counsel, Hon. Henry Nollmer.
Mr.. Nollmer presented the desires of
the company, which are simply for
route by which the company can
come into and go out of this city.
and the council met again in the af-
ternoon to go up the line to the city
limits and try to solve the problem.
The matter is complicated by the
right which the Tri-City Railway com
pany is understood to have to- lay
double track on all streets it occu-
pies at present. This, if another
company were granted rights on the
same streets, would make three
tracks. to which many of the alder
men are opposed.
