omits also the further provision in
same section requiring payment to
the city of one dollar per annum on
each car, so that this fiftyyear COM
mercial railroad may pile the streets
full with its cars and for fifty years
pay no tax on any of them.
This fifty-year ordinance also omits
each and all the important provisions
contained in Section IA of the twenty
year ordinance. which imposes on the
railroad company, as condition to
occupancy of streets, several import
ant requirements with reference to
paying for street paving, street as.
sessments and manner of laying
tracks.
Section IS, of the twentyyear ordi-
nance, requiring payment to lot own
ers of all damages. etc. is omitted in
Section 10 of the fifty-year ordiaance.
Reserving certain rights to the
city is likewise omitted.
Section q of the Interurban TWEEN
ty-year ordinance requires that com
pany, If it builds the railroad. TO com
plete the same on Washington ave
nue. from north to Sycamore street by
July LIST, 1908, and two years from
date Of passage Of ordinance to com
plete the road on Sycamore street,
and If an Interurban railroad is not
completed within three years from
passage of ordinance from Sycamore
street to Mound City and Mounds, il
forfeits all it's rights. etc.
But the ffty-year ordinance says
not one word as to within what time
the Terminal company shall com
mence or complete any portion Of the
railway it is authorized TO build and
operate on Fourth, Washington ave
nue. and Sycamore street. There is
nothing directly or remotely touch
ing this important subject other than
what is contained in Section 10, which
simply provides that If a railway Is
not built. completed and put in 0per-
alton from Ohio street 10 Mound City

their present shape would be doing
great wrong to not only abutting lot
owners, but to every citizen in Cairo
who has an interest in every street
and rights on them that ought to be
protected.
In my judgment. the serious objec-
tions to the present ordinances are 50
many that | shall undertake in this
communication to refer only to a few,
leaving others to be dealt with in the
future, should have time to do so.
The granting of the same identical
franchise at the same time and in
two separate ordinances to two differ
ent corporations. strikes the ordinary
mind as Unprecedented. | venture to
say that Mr.. Mckinley got no such
thing from Danvlle or any other city
for his suburban railroad, nor am
able to see the necessity of it; but
do foresee complications which are
liable to, and may arise by passing
both of these ordinances. However,
care not to dwell on this phase of
the case. If both are to be passed,
why is it the greater rights are grant
ed and less protection given the city
in one ordinance than in the other?
Section / of each ordinance gives
to each separate railroad the right "to
construct. lease. maintain, operate
and use a railroad of single track con.
struction" Ton Fourth street, Wash
ington avenue and Sycamore street,
there is then added in Terminal
company ordinance tnot one word Of
it in Interurban company ordinance)
the following words, viz. together
with switches. sidings, spurs. curves.
turnouts and connections except as
herein provided and with all neces-
sary appurtenances."
You will look in vain through the
ordinance for an exception to the
broad power above granted; and no
exception being there made. there is
no limit TO the exercise of the right
of the Terminal company. to lay down
upon above streets as many switch
es. sidings. spurs. turnouts. etc. as
the company secs proper. The word
except in the ordinance in italics
should be striker cut Il has no bust
less in there.

5 Of Terminal ordinance are identical.

THE lNTERURBAN ORDINANCES.

Editor of The Bulletin: AS citi'
zen of Cairo deeply interested in its
welfare and as an owner of property
both on Washington avenue and Syca-
more street, and as an advocate for
the construction Of an Interurban rail
road between Cairo, Mound City and
Mounds. have been reading the var
ious articles with which the esteemed
Citizen has been daily loading its
columns, and have read the various
ordinances of Danville and other cit
les granting rights to interurban rail
roads which were published in Tae
Citizen some time since, and have
read and compared with each other
and the various ordinances above re-
ferred to. the two ordinances now be-
fore the city council. We are indebt
"a to Hon. John NJ. Lansden, the
counsel. for saving the city from
imposition by inserting in each ordi-
nance a provision FORGETTING all rights
unless the grantees in the ordinances
give the people of Cairo a completed
interurban railway to Mound City aud
Mounds. Mr. Lansden also in his
communication to the council said
(which was the main question referr-
ed TO him by the counciD Il see no
objection to the fifty years grant y
But Mr.. Lansden further added:
There are a number of sections in
these ordinances which relate wholly
to questions Of policy. and as to these
the city council and the committee
must decide. They are. Of course,
important and should receive due
consideration. much as the public de-
sire to expedite matters and avoid
further delay. These are matters OF
Importance; and the delay which
some persons seem TO greatly com
plain of is due wholly TO the action
of these companies themselves. The
council has done almost everything
that any company could have asked
and il seems quite willing now to az
oept much less than was promised at
the outstart"

Gilman may not be lawyers. but any

year ordinance, giving greater rights
and less restrictions than the twenty
year ordinance-a road he need
neither commence nor finish until

nance. and even then the agony over
getting the road may be still further
indefinitely prolonged by the several
occurrences and proceedings" emu
merated in concluding paragraph OF
Section 10, for extension OF time as
excuses fer delay; thus for years, per
haps, so tying the hands of Cairo that

what kind of ordinances their alder

ing special reference to. In my judg'
ment, both ordinances should be re
