GAR LINE UP
 MAIN STREET IS REFUSED
Request of Waren-Bisbee Railroad for Permission to Lay Track There at Once Turned Down By Council.

ell was held last night. Many things of importance to the city were con sidered. Present were Mayor Neale and Aledrmen Edwards, Haines. Shattuck, Barkdoll and Allen.
 The vote on the bond issue was then canvassed and adopted. A tele- gram from a Chicago firm stating that they would take the entire issue of $250,000 at par. and pay bond at- torneys fees, was read bv the mayor. and will be accepted if no better of fers are made.
 The mayor stated that the Copper Queen had offered to keep clear the burned area on the south side of Main street, beginning at the subway and extending to the Moore Fuel & Feed Co.'S warehouse where the open sub way turns. Harrington, Bowen and Mosier opposed, as former occupants, on the grounds that it was unfair to take advantage of them because the fire had swept them; that the Copper Queen people were perfectly willing for them to rebuild; that business To- cations were scarce, etc, etc. Allen was inclined to accept the offer, but asked for postponement of action. The business men protested. as they were waiting on the council before rebuilding Edwards moved and Shattuck seconded that they be al lowed to rebuild, and the motion car ried amid applause from the "gal- lery.''
 The council then adopted a route. from a plat submitted by the city engineer. for two roads through the burned residence section. condemna- tion proceedings to b used where necessary.
 The mayor then stated that he had been informed by Messrs. Adsit and Shoemaker of the Bisbee-Warren Street Railway company, that tbey wanted to extend their line through Main street and up Tombstone Can yon at once, as they thought the sub way strong enough from the present terminal to the Bank of Bisbee, and that they could go up Main street from there on. Barkdoll favored the move He said he wanted to get the street car up the canyon, and he wasn't particular as to the route. The company stated that when tne new subway had been built and the old one filled in, they would move back to there from Main street. Several Of the councilmen were skeptical about this. They had an idea that if the company once got on Main street 1t would be there for all time. The mayor said work on the new subway would begin in thirty days and that as soon as excavations for it had been made the old subway could be filled in and the car company could run its tracks along that route. Be sides, if the tracks were laid on Main street, which was considered too mar row for a car track to get in, 1t would
 be only matter of few weeks until the streets, would have to be torn up again while the tracks were being moved back to the route of the old | subway. The request of the street
 car company was denied, only Bark doll fayoring.
 F. J. Vaughan and F. c. Hurs'
 stated to the council that they were
 ready at any time to give to the city
 ten or more feet as needed for road
 along their places, near .he burned
 skating rink.
 | The light committee was instructed
 to investigate the merits of the Tung
 ston light, alleged to give a forty candle power light with no more ust of electricity than a sixteen-candl' 1 power ordinary bulb.
 Two lights were ordered placed 1T Quarry Canyon, one opposite Bald! Mason's place, and one at the inter
 section of the roads at Robinson's anC Clawson's places. The lights are tt be sixteen candle power.
 | Connection of the fire mains witl the Bisbee-Naco Water company mains, to be relied upon in case O
 emergencies in fires, was ordered b.
 the council.
 J. H. Jack, owner of the Grant hotel, was present, and wanted U
 know if the Copper Queen people wer
 furnishing water free for fire pun
 poses. He was told that they wer
 paid SI00 a month. He asked if ther
 was a contract to that effect. Tn mayor and Alderman Shattuck sal they understood that there was on
 dating back three or four years, bu
 hat they had never seen 1t. Plumbing Inspector Robert Elliot said that to date 370 houses had COT nected jSfth the sewer. Only ten c
 twelZ haT connected within the pas thirty days. In discussing an ordil ance to conipel connections it develol , ed that all kinds of kicking had bee made to the aldermen on the pric of water for the sewers in privat houses. Bills of $16 and S17 mont were common F. J. Vaughan said his neighborhood then ran from g to s45. Alderman Edwards, who a real estate dealer, said he had te or twelve people looking for house WITHOUT sewer connections, as me with families could not afford to ps the bills.
