out this provision Of the charter will
render it null and void after thirty
days of such failure.
No streets less than twenty four
feet from curb TO curb are to be ira
versed by the car line. This will pre-
vent it from running TO the pump
station unless the franchise be modi-
fled by succeeding councils.
One of the provisions of the ordi-
nance is that no baggage shall be
carried free unless held on the laps Of
passengers All other baggage must
he paid for extra. No dirty linen IS
to be transported on the car line.
This caused some merriment when
before council on speech by Squire
Hayes.
1t is expected that the company
will make arrangements with the
trolley line people who are coming
from Uniontown and Masontown to
join them in building the line.
The company is composed of home
people Those who will receive the
franchise are e. M. Grant, w. e.
Glasscock, Frank Cox, r. e. Fast, |.
@. White, S. D. Hirschman and ].
II. McDermott. The franchise was
granted to the Morgantown Electric
Light and Power company. The
gentleman named above have con-
tract with this company under the
provisions of which the charter is to
he turned over TO them as soon as
they can organize.
They Will get together, apply for a
charter under the laws of the state
and organize their company as soon
as possible. Plans have been perfect
ed by them for number of improve
ments to be made in the plant of the
MorgantoWn Electric Light and Pow
er Company.
Mr.. e. M. Grant was asked this
morning by the New DOMINION what
they proposed to do. He stated capital
outside would be associated with the
gentlemen who had obtained the fran
chise and trolley lines would be put
in. He stated that he did not know
just how soon operations would be-
gin.
On the plant for the company how
ever operations will begin just as soon
as spring opens. Two sites are under
option for this and one of these will be
selected. A plant to cost 500, 900
will be selected.
Morgantown is thus assured of one
thing and that is Of a first class light
ing plant in the near future. In this
plant sufficient power TO run all the
trolley lipes which may be built by
the company will be installed.
Among the trolley lines which will
receive the earliest attention is one on
the west side of the river. This will
run out to Usage and vicinity by way
of Granville and the holdings Of the
Morgantown Brick Company on the
west side of the river.
Mr.. Grant said that he expected
this to go in by the spring of 1908 and
it would be certainty if the develop
ments projected by Mr.. j. A. Milhol-
land were carried out. He said that
lines to Cheat and other sections of
the county would be built.
Definite and positive assurances
were made by him and that the pro-
visions of the ordinance would be car
ried out by the company and that
they would do exactly as they have
promised to do was an absolute GER
tainty.
1--WE did not go into this thing so
much to make money for ourselves as
to help build up the town which we
are all interested" said Mr.. Grant.
'sThis is what is moving US to make
this effort and to it we will give our
beat attention and energies. y
