Question. question:" was called
from several parts OF the house
An expression by one member stat
ing that he thought IL was unwise to
disturb the agreement inasmuch as the
east side would benefit by the Phafen
park line. was met by Representative
Hammergren with bitter reply.
Doubt's comP.ay's Word
In the FIRST place. said Mr.. Ham
mersren. how do We know that the
len park? We have the word OF the
company TO that effect. but TO anyone
who has dealt with corporations that
doesn't signify much.
In six months time We are inform
ed by the best attorneys in the city
mat the agreement will be worth MOTH
ing. The company can do as IL wishes
IN the matter. They have already said
that the FIRST building OF extensions or
new lines that would be taken up
would be the third interurban and the
south st. Paul line. BY the time that
the statutory limit for appeal viii have
expired the company will probably not
nave started work on the Phaien park
line. and IL they don't who is there that
can cali them 10 account?
Il have not had much to say regarding
the controversy thus far. but after care
IuI consideration, 1 have no hesitation in
expressing myself regarding the action of

Affer a few other remarks favorable to
the resolution condemning the action of
me council. a vote was taken which in
dicated that the unanimous opinion of the

No hall in this ward will be large enough
to hold the people on that occasion" said

took occasion to state that so far as he
had talked with the people of the entire
city be had been unable TO find any one
who looSed upon the compromise agree
ment even with a slight element of salts
factiorn
From now until next Saturday. at the
tlme the Dig mass meeting In the First
ward will be held. no let up IN arousing
the people to high sense of their duty
will occur.
The agitation is necessary" said
member of the association. "oniy for the
purpose of getting the people out TO a
meeting that the city at large will
understand the stand taken by the First
ward. AS far as We are personally con-
cerned il is generally understood that
there has not been discovered half dozen
people in this ward favoring the agree
ment. Only wait until the mass meeting
gathers and there will go forth from this
ward such a thunder of condemnation as
will wake the city up TO its naked con-
dition.''
