The psychological moment had ar
rived; it was 11:55 Only five minutes
remained in which the house could
legally transact the vast volume or
business yet staring 1t in the face.
In the midst OF the consideration OF

house clock, so that timepiece might
not tick off the last five minutes al
loted time for several days yet The
motion was seconded and put by the
speaker No one seemed to grasp its
import. The motion carried by viva

parliamentary usage, adopted In the
national congress, no motion to stop

that if such action were permitted to
occur. it was supposed TO be without
the knowledge or conniyance of the
house as such; and that the passage
OF a motion such as that just put, had
the effect of terminating the existence
OF the eighth session OF the leGisla-

railway system over Wall avenue

ing, the application for the franchise
having been made some time ago.
The city council and the mayor have
heretofore expressed their willingness
to grant the franchise under certain
considerations and restrictions, The
city administration has been de5irous
OF furnishing every possible induce
ment for the extension of street rail-
way facilities. but 1t has entertained
the idea that the right of way for the
street car system should not be CIV

Mayor Brewer at the beginning OF
his administration, expressed the
thought that it would be an excellent
plan TO grant the Rapid Transit COM

haul gravel from the canyon and place

Transit company hesitated to comply
with this demand on the ground that

The question was thoroughly
threshed out yesterday afternoon,
representative of the Rapid Transit
company being present to champion
the interests of the company Alter
fully considering both sides of the
question the mayor and the council
men present decided TO recommend at
the next meeting of the city couacil
that the Rapid Transit company be
granted a franchise for the construc"
