AWARD CONTRACT
FOR URBANNA LINE
Representatives OF Enterprise
Claim TO Have Let Work
for Fifteen Miles.
WANT SEVEN PINES ROAD
Street Car Company Desires to
Sell and Be Relieved OF
Obligations.

There was no quorum last night of
the subcommittee of the Council Com
mittee on Streets. to which was refer
red the petition of the Richmond, Ur-
hanna and Pcninsular Railroad Com :
pany. to be allowed to purchase the
Seven Pines electrice line from the
Virginia Railway and Power Company.
The absence OF members was partly
explained through the fact that sub
committees of the Street Committee
had been meeting each night for the
past week and We're worn out. There
was present, however a wealth of
legal talent. for and against the propo-
sition.
Briefly speaking. the petitioners
claim to have already awarded con
tract for erection OF fifteen miles OF a
proposed railway line from Richmond
to urbanna. and to have surveyors at
work the remainder. AS part of
this line they have secured an option
on the present Seven Pines road. be-
longing to the Virginia Railway and
Power Company. and desire to pur-
chase it and make 1t ~ part OF their
system.
The street car company was repre-
sentcd by A. b. Guigon. who stated
that his company had given such an
option for the sale of the Seven Pines
line. the sale being conditioned on the
action of the Council in releasing the
company from its present ticket and
transfer obligations.
Must Give Transfers.
At present the company is compelled
by its charter to sell ordinary tickets
and school tickets and to give and ac-
cept transfers from other lines. good
10 the end OF the line. 4, is claimed
that the Seven Pines line, because of
its condition requiring it TO carry
passengers an average OF nine miles
for less than ; cents, is losing in act
ual operating expenses alone about
$4,000 a year. without allowing tor
interest on the investment.
Citizens of Highland Springs. Seven
Pines ana other settlements along the
line have employed counsel, and will
fight the sale of the road under any
such conditions. They assert that the
sale is pretensc to get rid OF an un-
profitable suburban line.
Members OF the committee present
expressed the view that the objection
could be readily met by requiring of
the purchasers before they are relieved
of the ticket and transfer requirements
now obtaining. that they give bond to
build the road to Urbanna within .
specified period. Seven Pines and
Highland Springs people are not citi-
zens ot Richmond. and members OF the
committee held II more to the inter
ests of the city to have IL railroad
into an undeveloped territory now trib
utarv to Baltimore than 10 have SUI
burhan line through a sparsely settled
territory. At present the trade al the
whole peninsula section from trucking
farms as close as twelve miles from
Richmond. is entirely diverted to Bal
nmore hv way OF steamship lines on
the York. Pamunkey and Mattapon!
Rivers
In the absence of a quorum, the com
mittee discussed the proposition infor-
mallv. and adjourned 20 Thursday
