CITY COUNCIL
 KILLED TIME Nothing Done in Rail-
 way Matter. AN ORDINANCE WAS READ Committee Met, But Could Not
 Agree on Measure. Alderman sullivan Objected to suspen- sion of Rules and Left Affair in Same Condition--Hudson .r Sworn In.

The City Council of Montgomery held its third meeting for this week last night and although the members of the aldermanic body waited for an hour for the Committee on Franchises and Privileges and Streets to report on the ordinance granting the Montgomery Traction Company franchise to connect it's tracks with those of the recently acquired Montgomery Street Railway, they waited in vain.
 The committee merely reported that they had been in session all afternoon, and the members were unable to gel together. They asked permission 10 introduce an ordinance, which stipu- lates the conditions of the granting of , the franchise. and asked that it be re- ferred to tho committee to report at a special meeting.
 Alderman Sullivan objected, and the affairs of the Montgomery Traction Company are still up in the air
