not think the city should ask the rail

road company to conceed anything
more than the proposed contract calls
for.
On the vote on the bridge matter,
Alderman Lindstrand and Mccormick
voted against the adoption OF the res.
olution authorizing the contract for
the new bridge.
The resolution was then introduc-
ed for the lease to the railway COM
pany Of the land on the levee. The
contract provides that in case the wa
ter power dam causes the city to ask
the company to change It's tracks, the
company shall do 30 and make no
claim for damages.
On this resolution Aldermsn Lind
strand and Mccormick again voted
against the resolution. The contract
calls for Is year lease at 81 per
