THE INTERURBAN ORDINANCES,

II may be claimed that the ordi-

by representatives Of the people in
the city council. This is true. They
were read and discussed section by

the opinions of the aldermen who
adopted them are concerned, they are
as good ordinances as could be reason
ably expected under all the circum
stances. The motives of these alder
men are not to be impugned. But it
is no disparagement Of their judgment
to suggest that, in spite Of all their
care, the ordinances may mean, or be
made or construed to mean, something
quite different from what they We're
understood to mean by the aldermen
who passed them. So able lawyer

they were referred for examination
and at whose recommendation some
very important amendments were
made, said In his report to the city
council
