the franchise. as suggested by the
Judges, the company will enter no OBJ
lection.
The Committee on Franchises of the
City Council met in the Council chamber
yesterday.
Chairman David Fleming called the at
tention of the committee to a COMMUNE
cation which he had received from Mayor
Joseph, stating that the Mayor had re-
ceived a complaint from Judges Sayre,
Thomas and CASTOR, against the proposed
running of cars of the Montgomery Trac-
ton Company on two sides of the Court
House. This communication also sug-
gested that the franchise of the company
be changed by the Council so that the
tracks would run through Lawrence
Street to Washington Street; down
Washington as far as Perry; up Perry
Street as far as Adams Street, and up
Adams Street into Lawrence Street, thus
passing on but one side of the Court
House.
Members of the committee said they
had not read the communication, but
would do so before the meeting OF the
Council Monday night. and asked that
the matter be laid over until that time.
President Fleming of the Council said
yesterday that he had no doubt that the
route would be changed to the satisfac,
ton of all concerned at the next Council

little more, and in some localities 1t was
less. l.,
