A resolution introduced by Alderman
Sullivan Monday at Il special meet
ing OF the board Of alderman. ana winch
was adopted. acted as a bomb shell In
disturbing the peace OF the board. The
resolution instructs the city attorney to
make no objection to the Rutland Rail-
road coiEpany's petition Tor the use of
Lake street providing that the state pub
lie service commission determines that
the same should be granted to give this
railroad proper access to the proposed
new station.
The resolution follows:
Resolved. that the city attorney is in
stlucted to make no objection to the petit
ton of the Rutland Railroad company,
now pending before the public service
commission, for the use and occupancy
OF that portion of Lake street described
in the petition, if after fun hearing the
puDllc service commission determines
that the same should be granted to give
the Rutland Railroad company proper
access TO the new station
Previously II resolution providing for
the petiilonng to the state public service
commission for the adjustment of the
grade crossing at Maple street, intro
duced by Alderman Cowles. was defeated

members who favored the adoption of
