Committee Wants to Insure
Good Order in Middle
of the Streets.
ASKS THAT FRANCHISE GRANT

THE COMMITTEE MAY WRITE
INTO 1T SOME GENUINE PRO-
lection OF PUBLIC RIGHTS.

The ordinance granting to the Pen
Sacola Electric Company the right to
construct its tracks in the center of
Garden street. as recommended by the
franchise committee, was not cOnSid-
cred last night by the City Council
The reason for not calling up the or

stated by the franchise committee as
| being that the company had not Civ

street over which il proposed to run
its line to GOulding, and further that
the committee had decided upon a
number of important amendments to
the ordinance
These amendments, said Chairman
Calm, will consist of limiting the fran
chlse of the committee to twenty-five
years, and will also incorporate that
the company shall keep both Palaf0x
parkway in condition, and create and
maintain parkway in Garden street
The committee does not intend to
compel the company to maintain parks
on these streets, but will insist that
trees be planted, and be kept trimmed
aud presentable, and that the grass
be kept moved. In other words, the
ordinance will provide tina tthe street
car company be compelled to care for
these streets, through the center of
which their tracks run, to the extent
of keeping them clean and orderly.
The franchise committee did not
have an opportunity yesterday of in
cooperating these amendments in the
ordinance, but will hold a meeting be-
fore the next meeting of the Council,
and, when the ordinance is presented,
1t will contain these provisions.
