A MINORITY REPORT.
Alderman Concannon, of the CON-
mittee on parks and ways, submitted
resolution which he termed a min
ority report, calling upon the l.. & n.
railroad company to bring all trains
to a full stop when about to cross
the Gregory and Tarragona streets
crossing. The resolution invoked the
liVeliest discussion, and sharp re-
marks were INDUCED in. Alderman
Renshaw, taking the part of the rail-
road company and the committee to
which the matter had been referred
at the last meeting, said that the
measure was being railroaded
through" and he thought such action
was a direct attack on the other
gentlemen who were members of the
committee to which the matter had
been referred at the last meeting"
Alderman Concannon was equally
strong in his remarks, making the as
sertion that he wanted this thing of
having matters not reported on when
committees were directed to return
reports stopped, and that the L. &
N. railroad company has been domi
mating the city council for some time
and he proposed to establish this
precedent" The statement was al
lowed to go unchallenged. Alderman
Kugleman thought that to bring all
trains to full stop at the crossing
would work detriment to whole
salers in the city, but Alderman Bear,
prefacing his remarks that he was
interested in the wholesale business
himself, said that he regarded human
life preservation with more regard
than he did the wholesale business,
and that he could not see where the
business could be interfered with to
any great extent. Alderman Con-
