The agitation over the Intsrurban
franchise ordinance was brought to
close last Friday evening when the coun-
Gil without dissent passed the ordinance
bv which the franchise as originally ap-
piled for was granted the Southern Wis
consin Interurban Railway Co. AS noted
last week, feeling on the question OF
routes had been running strong within
the council, and Mayor Peterson fought
to the last ditch for provision COM
polling the company to traverse a por-
ton of Main street on the east side.
After the original ordinance, as drafted
by the applicants, had been read. an Or
dinance was presented which in every
essential particular was similar to the
original, except that it definitely desig
mated the route to be along South and
Fourth streets to Main street. A motion
to substitute this ordinance for the orig
inal was lost by vote of 6 to 6, Mayor
Peterson's deciding vote being cast for
the negative. The motion which fol
lowed, however,. to pass the original or
dinance, was carried without single
vote being heard against it, greatly to
the establishment of both friends and
foes of the franchise. BY the terms of
the ordinance the road will enter the
city along the Wheeler Prairie highway,
will pass through the f r culvert and
10 South street, thence along any north
and south street aud Jefferson street to
Main street. On the west side it will
traverse Main street and any east and
west or north and south street to city
limits. That the proposed road will be-
come reality, there seems no reason to
doubt, as, according to President Hayes,
of the Interurban Co, the necessary cap
ital has been secured and the work of
construction will be begun at the earli-
est possible time.
