THE STREET. CONE ITTEEAcTS

At the meeting of the Street Commit
tee last night initiative steps were taken
to compel the Passenger and Power
Company to continue their line across
,Iayo's Bridge by way of Fourteenth
Street.
The matter came up on the report Of
City Engineer and City Attorney as to
the right of the city in the matter.
That report indicated that the company
could, under its charter, be compelled
to operate its line on Fourteenth Street,
across the river, and that it is liable
under the ordinance for failure so to do.
1t is their duty to provide a safe and
convenient way to cross the river to
the city limits. The only excuses that
can be given are as to whether they
are prevented by IAN act of God or other
cause not reasonably presentable."
MAY FORFEIT BRIDGE CHARTER.
Accompanying the report was this let
ter:
I'VE beg to report that after confer
ence with Governor Montague, one of the
members of the Board of Public Works.
and Major Sol CGtchins. counsel for the
Mayo Bridge and Land Company, if you
desire. after receiving and considering
the opinion Of the City Attorney, the
institution of proceedings looking to the
forfeiture OF the charter Of said company,
we suggest thai you recommend to the
Council for adoption resolution request
ing the said board to institute proceedings
looking to the forfeiture Of the charter
Of the Mayo Bridge and Land company,
for the non-exercise or imperfect eXar-
else of the powers conferred on it as cor
poration by the General Assembly of Viz
GINA. The Governors view is that pro-
ceed;nss so important as YOU suggest
should have the endorsement OF the
Council before being instituted.
MUST GIVE PROPER SERVICE.
Mr.. King moved that the City Attorney
he requested to inform the Passenger ana
Power Company that proper service must
be placed on Fourteenth Street to Man
chester within the next thirty days, or
the committee @ill recommend that the
franchise of the Fourteenth Street oranch
he taken away This was adopted.
Col t6nn Murphy appeared before the
committee to ask them TIC allow him to
construct the proposed bridge across
Eighth Street, to connect his two hotels.
The matter was referred back to the
City Engineer. but petition from Col.
Murphy was signed by majority of the
committee and he will proceed at once
with the construction of the bridge.
The City Engineer gave as his opinion
that the Passenger and Power Company,
in placing it's wires underground. could
use the ducts Of the Virginia Electrical
Railway and Development Company SC
far as practicable.
The Finance Committee met In called

of the budget from the subcommittee.
