X The matter came up on n report Of
tho municipal laws committee refusing
X TO grant the company permission 10
n haul freigh over the Fifth South street
line After the report was read Fern
q strom wanted to know why the CONF

N whether or not II is going to grant the
franchise. IL was unfair, he argued,
\ TO let the company 80 ahead and 20
a 10 the expense of putting the tracks
81 down, expecting TO get franchise, and
n then turn it down. He declared that
a the policy of the administration seemed
q 10 be TO do nothing at ALL

& South had been told that the company
y was going to run steam engines along
n the street to haul freight and he was
sure that II they understood what was
D going 20 be done they would not oppose
& IL Wells insisted that 1t would do no
q harm to allow the tracks 10 remain
s even though the council did not let the
company haul freight over them and
n he thought 1t was very unjust to put
the company to the expense of relaying
n tha tracks.

4 that the company had slipped In there
4 and laid the tracks without permits
4 SION from any one and that it should
