tudes of fortune in an endeavor to
take care of the garbage of the city.
They had been unfortunate enough to
have their plant burnt down at a
clear loss, from the fact that no in
surance company would take a risk
on that character of building unless it
was of fireproof construction. That
acting, as Mr.. Osborne, manager of
the plant claimed, on the assurance of
a number of the councilrnen that if
they commenced the erection Of a new
plant on the site of the old.
That under the circumstances it an
peared that the council should grant a
legation to purchase the plant from Mr.
Osborne. Councilman Ryder rejoined
to this saying, I fail to see why the
city is under any moral Obligation To
of any promises being made or pernnis-
sion granted to you for the erection of
your plant upon the river bank. You
have been told by the board of health
and the committee on health and sani-
tation that the river bank was not the
proper site and yet you go ahead with
out any authority and start to re-erect
your plant and then claim that we are
under a moral obligation to purchase
your plant. You have violated your
contract in the past and forfeited it.
Vi course II a NUMBER OF the council
men gave their assurance to Mr.. Os-
borne that it was all right to re-erect
the plant on the river bank on the old
site I will stand by them and that as
surance.''
II think it was the sense of the board
of health" said Mr.. Abrahams, at
their last meeting that under the cir
cumstances the best place for the Gre
matOry was on the bank of the river.

Site
Il feel" said Councilman Howe, "as
if we are in a nature under a moral
obligation to give them the first chance
to dispose of their plant to the city. I
think there is no question but what
they have lost money down there They
have expended considerable money at
various times in the past on their
plant and it does seem to me as if
there is some justice in their position"
Chairman Green then introduced a
resolution, the substance of which was
that the committee deemed it advisable
to wait final action until the bill re-

BELTS WINS A POINT.
Interurban Railways Win Eminent
Domain Contest in Senate.

After a hard fight Senator Belts
interurban railway bill passed the SEN
ate Friday afternoon by a vote of p
to g.
A hot fight was started in the SEN
atesin the morning over the bill which
would grant to street and suburban
railways the right of eminent domain
and but for an adjournment the meas
ure would undoubtedly have met de-
feat if put to a vote at the morning
session.
Senator Belts bill provides that
when necessary to enter upon and use
private property in the construction or
operation of their railway tracks, or
for the construction of bridges or wa
ducts, or approaches thereto, street,
suburb and interurban companies
shall have, and they are hereby given
the power of appropriation or emil
nent domain. and the procedure and
methods of appropriation and OF de-
termination of the compensation to be
paid for such private property shall be
the same as is now provided for steam
railroad corporations"
Senator Benedict started the trouble
by moving that the enacting clause be
stricken out IF street car lines wish
to go outside of the city limits, let them
pay for their right of way" said SEN
ator Benedict.
1.-The street car companies are not
asking for anvt hing other than what
the steam railroads have" said Senator
Belts. "Our street car company here
in town had trouble and paid two or
three times what property was worth. !"
This bill is vicious and should not
be enacted into a law by any legisla-
ture,'' said Senator Getty.
Senator NoftEger's motion to ad-
journ saved the street car lobby. pres
ent- in the senate chamber, from see
ing the bill defeated at the beginning
of the campaign
AT the afternoon session discussion
of the bill was revived and there was
a more active interest in favor of the
passa &c OF the bill. Senator Smith, of
Franklin, favored the bill. He said that
an interurban railway is within two
miles of Ottawa and can get no further
because of two farmers who refuse to
allow road to cross through their farms.
Senator Noftzger read the laws of II
Inois and Indiana granting to interbur-
ban railways the right of eminent do
main. Senator Stewart, from Wichita
said his part of the state wishes such
a law in order that the interurban rail-
ways may be built and the country de

street and suburban railways under
control of the state board of railway
commissioners and was adopted as an
