When the Soutn SIDE ordnance was
called up on third reading, Attorney
Fitzsimmons asked for and secured the
privilege of the floor. He admitted that
there might have been technical faults
in the proposition submitted by him.
and as an evidence of good faith agreed
To let the city solicitor himself draw up
proposition, He declared that the
offer was Il sincere and genuine one,
and that the charge that 1t was pre-
sented in bad faith was best answered
by the names of the gentlemen making
the offer. The only answer that could
be made to 1t, he said, was an offer of
equal size or larger.
John IL. Devine, the newly elected
president of the Central Labor union,
was given the privilege of the floor i'm
mediately following Mr.. Fitzsmlnons,
and outlined briefly the attitude of the
Central Labor union on the new fran
chises. The union, he said, favored the
passage of the ordinances, with proper
restrictions. lie declared that the Of
fer of 100000 was made under "sus-
picious circumstances" and was not
worthy of consideration.
I'VE believe" said he, that the pro-
moters of the new companies are sim
cere and that they really intend to do
as they say--that is, TO establish a
modern, up-to-date, lirst-class street
railway system in this city. The
name of one man, in particular, who
Is interested in these companies is a
sufficient guarantee of the sincerity Of
the proposition.
However we may differ from him
politically, we know that he has had
a great deal to do with the Industrial
development of this city. We know
that he has established industries that
