statute authorizing the construction
OF the terminal provides that any
.,rOposed issue of stock and bonds in
pursuance Of the act shall be first
J. proved by tn board.
The city has under consideration
and in process of development ty Its
City Plan Commission u logical and
well-urdered city plan If this plan
is adopted and put into execution
future transit mes should, of course,
follow ii as closely as possible. The
location Of particular routes should
be determined by the city FOR the
city's reasons and not necessarily to
conform to plans proposed by the
railway company.
No Conflict on City Plans.
In the board Judgment these ordi-
nances and possible operation under
them, provide for relief in the con-
gested area, and taken In connect on
with ord .nances already approved. for
the extension of lines through
relatively undeVe!oped sections. In
no essential feature do they conflict
with the plans proposed by the City
Plan Commission in SO far as these
plans have been made known to the
board, or hinder the logical extens on
of transported on facilities in and
through the city.
The Board is. therefore, satisfied
that the ordinances properly conserve
the public interest In the particulars
that the statute has vested In the
board the duty of determination.
The approval of the board of each
of the ordinances submitted will is
suit subject, however, TO the condi-
tons set forth the several ordi-
nances and blanket agreement"
In granting its approval, the board
directs attention to the report of
Harold Bartholomew, before referred
to, as to conditions at Bridge and
Broad sire cts.
In the judgment of the board, the
suggestion of Mr.. Bartholomew,
which has also the approval of the
boards chief INSPECTOR. that consent
be obtained for the laying of tracks
upon Wash ngtun street from Broad
street to Central avenue, so providing
d rect crossing for all cars using
Bridge street, should be adopted. Its
understanding Is that the company at
the hearings upon the ordinances con-
scntt 10 make application 10 the mu-
nicipal authorities for such consent
1t further directs attention to the
necessity of carrying cars on Wash
ington street across Market street
EXl eriments made IN its behalf con-
vince IL that, though tracks admitting
Of the operation are now in position
such operation would under exist ng
conditions unreasonably delay traffic
and add to the existing congestion. A
correct on of street conditions at this
point is essential If Washington street
is to bCemployt d as a parallel thor
nuRhfare for street ra lway traffic and
be utilized In the solving of the prob
lem of the congested area.
Suggestions were made at the hear
ing of certain extensions designed to
afford to the residents of the eastern
section of the city means of cross
town travel by use of Van Buren,
street. In the Judgment of the board
the provisions of such faei tiles are
reasonably requisite. The understand
ing of the board Is that assurance
was given by the company that it
conceded In the view that facility for
such travel might reasonably be de.
manded and that the suggestions
made would be considered
