'The Mayor and Members of the City
Council, Pensacola, Fla.
I Dear Sirs:-Your franchise COM
mitee having under consideration an
Ordinance To extend the time given
the Pensacola, Alabama and Western
Railroad Company and the time given
to the Pensacola and Northeastern
Railroad Company by the ordinance
heretofore passed granting, rights to
stben4 fo tke-sserfainaanceof certatn
conditions imposed by said ort'i-
nances. such ordinances AaxiGgs been
approved on August 10, 1905, beg to
report that they have secured from the
city clerk certified copies of the srdi-
ances referred to and have carefully
compared same with the ordinance
under consideration in order to ascer-
tain positively just what the proposed
ordinance would mean.
'First-That portion of the ordi-
nance relating to the Pensacola and
Northeastern Railroad Company gives
that Company an extension of one
year to complete the road from Pensa-
1,l, l., Irz.
the original ordinance this road
would have been completed by Sep
TENDER 1st, 1907 If the extentiOn is
granted it will have to be completed
by September LIST, 1908. Under the
original ordinance also the Company
was required to avail itself of the
privilege of the grant by occupying
all streets or land not under water be-
fore the LIST day of September, 1909.
The present ordinance grants an eX-
tension TO the first day of September,
1910. This applies 10 the grant of the
city Spring street property for term
inal purposes also.
, ''Second-That portion of the ordi-
nance relating to the Pensacola. Ala
bama and Western Railroad Company
gives that company an extension Of
one year TO build the road in north
erly or northeasterly direction not less
than sixty miles from Pensacola. In
der the existing ordinances this would
have to be done by March LIST. 1907,
and the ordinance under considera-
ton extends the time of completion
of this sixty miles to March LIST, 1905
The existing ordinance provides also
that a point not less than 80 miles
distant shall be reached by the road
before the Ist day of September, 1908.
The present ordinance extends this
time one year. to September 1st
1909. 1t also requires this road to
avail itself of the privileges of the
grant by occupying all streets or land
not under water before the 1st day of
September 1910. This is an extension
Of one year. as the present ordinance
requires that such be done by Septem-
Der LIST. 1909
1T viii be seen from the above that
a careful checking OF the ordinance
under consideration with that pre-
viously passed shows that all that is
asked of the city by the railroad COM
panies in question is an extention OF
one year. On the other hand they
agree that within SIX months from the
date of this ordinance the Pensacola,
Alabama and Western Railroad Com
pany viii grade in Escambia county
not less than twenty miles of railroad
ready for cross ties and the Pensa-
cola and Northeastern Railroad Com
pany will grade twenty miles of rail-
road ready for cross ties within the
counties of Escambia and Santa Rosa
and they agree TO deposit $4,000. 90
in bank satisfactory to the city
