Councilman Phillips said that he
had been informed that Tuesday, rep
resentatives of the company would
meet with agents of a big financing
company, and that the deal was ex-
pected to be closed at this meeting.
General Manager Whysall, Of the
C.. ID. G. NJ was present, asking for
a 25-year franchise for bringing the
Bucyrus extension into the city. The
franchise was granted the require
ments being that work on the exten-
sion shall be started not later than
June 10 1907, and that the road shall
be completed and in operation, jan
1, 1908. The franchise gives the COM
pany the right to construct its track
on North Main street from Playground
street to the north corporation line.
Mr.. Phillips at first objected to the
franchise because 1t made no provi-
sion for city service. He said that
people on Davids street have been
kicking for city service for long
time, but have never gotten It.
In answer to this complaint, Mr..
Whysall said It is the intention of
ithe company to give the city to the
north corporation line, but that no
, provision for 1t can be placed in the
franchise, owing to the fact that the
franchise was for an interurban COM
lpany. He stated that contract for
! this city service will be entered into
| by the interurban and city railway
companies. AS for Davids street, he
said he expected to have city cars
running over It regularly within a
few weeks. The company has been
waiting for switches and turnouts,
and these will be here next week, the
general manager stated.
A petition was received from prop
erty owners on George street. asking
that 1t be paved between Prospect
and Main streets. The width of the
paving petitioned for would be 80
feet Mr.. Whysall, of the G.. d. &
NJ. said he believed that this paving
would be too narrow when It Is con-
sidered that the city street railway
company purposes to extend its line
over George street. He suggested that
the paving, If granted, b. widened
several feet. The petition was
Igranted and resolution providing
for the improvement was adopted.
IThe paving will be of brick.
