The Committee From the General
Council Agree on an Ordinance.
Street Car Company viii be Required to do
Several Things-can't Get the New
Franchises for Less Than $1,000.
TRANSFERS TO BE GIVEN BOTH LINES

The joint committee appointed
from the board of aldermen and the
council to draft suitable ordinance
fer the street car company, met last
evening and agreed on an ordinance.
Alderman f. G.. Boone is chairman
Of the committee, which is composed
Of Aldermen Langstaff and Barry,
and Councilmen Johnson, Potter and
Hummel. The Paducah Street Rail
way co pany was represented by Gem
eral Manager George q. Wallace, and
Alderman Jones, of Mechanicsburg,
was present through courtesy as there
were certain concessions desired by
the people in his locality.
The object of the meeting Of the
committee was to get up an ordinance
that would please both the city and
the street car company. The latter
desires an extension Of its franchise
three years, making it run twenty
years instead of seventeen, IN order
that is can issue bonds and borrow
money with which to make improves
ments and extensions.
Ordinances introduced recently to
make the extension of time passed
the council, but in the board Of alder
men were held up, and new ordinances
became necessary. The meeting yes.
terday was to decide on these ordin-
ances which was done, making several
important chsngs.
The first change made Is in clause
which requires the street car company
to ihaugurste the transfer system, Civ
ing passengers transfers to all parts Of
the city on both lines. The limit for
the installation of this service Is two
years. but Mr.. Wallace assured the
committee that it will be done in
much less time than that.
When the matter of selling the fran
chi'e came up, Alderman Boone want
ed the franchise sold for not less than
$1,000, After some discussion, the
com mittee decided to make the mini
mum price for the two franchises,
one for the railway and the other for
the light plant, at $500 each. This
will bring in $1,000.
Another provision of the new ordin-
ance is that hereafter the cost Of rails
ing or lowering the street car tracks to
conform to the grade Of the streets, be
a. the expense of the street car COM
pany. This will require the company,
should another improvement like the
brick streets be made, to pay the ex-
penses of raising the tracks, which
cost the city $500 when the brick
street was constructed.
II was then requested by Aldermen
Jones that the street railway company
be required to extend its Sixth street
line up across the bridge, and to the
Benton gravel road, several blocks.
This would take the road through Me.
chanicsburg, but the committee did
not deem it good idea to incorporate
the requirement in the ordinance.
General Manager Wallace, however,
states that this extension is one Of tie
things the company wants to borrow
m oney for, and that it will be made
without any legal requirement.
The ordinance will come mp at the
next meeting of the boards and prob.
ably be passed.
