through tn. Borough uf D.nville was
pa sed Friday Oh two readings The
supplement amends the ordinance so
rs to grant lie toliey cumpnny per-
mission to pass from Bloom street
down A street il 1t so desires.
Mr.. Psscoe, who accompanied by
Division Superintendent Turk Of the
P. s. R. Railway was present at the
meeting. explained 70 Council that il
was not at all clear that his company
would need to avail itself Of the privi.
lege of using A street. It had been
restrained by injunction from cross.
ing Bloom street at grade. The mat.
ter was now in court and the outcome
was in doubt. What his company wish
ed was to be in q position to proceed
with the building Of its line without
the least delay should the decision OF
the court be against it.
The trolley company, he said. had
permission to carry its line through
under the P. & r. Railway track and
by going down A street the trolley by
that means could conveniently pass
over to Walnut stEeet. through which
the company already has a right OF
way. To facilitate matters he asked
that the supplement- II approved by
council be passed OIL boti, its irst an
its second reading.
In discussing the matter Mr.. Goeser
thought that the present..w was the prop
or time for renewing the agitation
for the undergrade crossing at tho
same point for vehicles as we'll as for
trolley. This suggested a question Of
terms. which drew Division Superin-
tendent Turk into the discussion.
Mr.. Turk did not see that the open
ing of A street was out of the ques-
tion under certain conditions, but he
held that it was proposition separate
and distinct from the granting of q
right of way for the trolley under the
track.
| In regard to experimenting the ord
nance. permitting the trolley to pass
down A street, Superintendent Turk
urged that Council act without any
delay. The P. s. r. Railway Com
pany, he said. does not wish to stand
in the way Of the trolley, but grade
crossing at Bloom street is regarded
as dangerous and in order to avoid 1t
the company has granted the trolley
people permission to pass under the
railroad at Walnut street.
