PROPOSED ROUTE
ACCORDING TO LAW
CITY ATTORNEY SAYS RICHMOND
AND HENRIco PLAN IN Ac-
!, coRDANeE WITH ORDINANCE.
MAYO
ISLAND
STREET COMMITTEE DECLINES TO
ADOPT PROPOSITION OF LAND
COMPANY TO RUN RAIL
WAY OVER ISLAND.

City Attorney Pollard yesterday af-
ternoon handed In an opinion to the
street committee In which 1t was
stated that the plans as preseBted the
committee by the Richmond and Hen
rico company lining out the proposed
light and power route was in accord
nnce with the franchise.
The question was raised by the
committee at its last meeting and
was referred to the city attorney.
The proposed line starts from the
powerhouse in Fulton, and by devious
ways, as already printed, takes In
Cary and Marshall streets to the
West End. The question raised in
the committee was that the line as
designated did not specify all lines.
A man living on Clay street. for in
stance. who wished light or power
could not get 1t, according to the In
depreciation Of the committee. unless
the company were required to place
a connecting link In the various side
streets. Same case would apply to
a man on Broad or Main streets.
Must Supply Demand.
But the city attorney in his opin-
ion declared that the main line az
designated by the company could be
compelled to supply light or power
to any one within reasonable radius
of the main line.
The committee, therefore accept
ed the line as proposed by the Rich
mond and Henrico company
The question raised by citizens and
members of council as to the lack of
accommodations on the lakewood and
Hollywood and the Rlverview lines
was referred to subcommittee en-
bracing Messrs. Haddon and Fuller.
The complaints consist mainly of
irregular schedule on the two lines
mentioned. The subcommittee will
confer with the street car people, and
see IL the schedule arrangement may
not be made satisfactory TO the peo-
pie.
A proposition which oceasioned
some argument in the committee was
that of the Mayo Land company. This
company wished to secure permission
to run a railroad track across Mayos
island, crossing the street car tracks
to be placed there, to connect with
the Seaboard Air Line and, the South
ern bridges.
Develop Mayo Island.
It is the intention of the Mayo Land
company to develop Mayo's island to
secure many manufacturing concerns
and factories, and 1t Is their desire
to have railway facilities to connect
with the factories and the railroads.
Mr.. Gunst asked that the paper be
laid on the table so that represen-
tatives of the Mayo company might
be present, but ether members of the
committee felt that at this stage of
the proceedings the proposition was
preposterous, and the proposition was
reflected.
In explaining his motion Mr.. Gunst
said that he felt it would probably
| be a good thing liz the company ran
their tracks over or under the street
car tracks which the city is to erect
| over the island and the bridge.
The committee recommended to
/ council that a number of allegation
/ be advertised for. for street and al
/ ley improvements in various parts of
| the city.

HIGHLAND PARK TO
DISCUSS BONDS

A committee was appointed last
night at meeting of the town council
of Highland Park TO arrange q mass
meeting to be held March gath In the
auditorium OF the schoolhouse, 10
which every citizen OF the suburb Will
be extended an invitation TO discuss
the advisability OF bond issue. While
the sum of SIS, 600 Is needed to make
the necessary Improvements In the
town. the extent Of the Issue viii be
left ertireiy TO the taxpayers.
The sentiment seems to favor the
issuance OF bonds and when the prop
osition is put before the people at
the mass meeting little thought Is en-
tertained that 1t will be failure.
Another committee was appointed
to meet officials of the Henro County
Gas company at 2 o'clock and confer
with them in regard to installing gas
mains In the suburb. The gas COM
pany desires q thirty-year franchise.

raised laugh. He said he got out
OF them by telling his friends that
he would as soon permit you to
select a wife for me, III / were un-
married. as / would permit you TO
select the members of my cabinet"
In conclusion he said that what was
most needed was more civic pride, so
that people would speak of my city,
with the same pride with which they
speak of my home"
Mayor Hunt described conditions in
Cincinnati under the most perfect
flower of machine rule" and said
that now that rule had been shaken
