In less time than it takes to ring up
a six-cent fare. the city council in
special session that convened at the close
OF the regular aldermanic meeting last
night smothered the request of the Barre
d Montpelier Traction & Power Co. to
withdraw one, OF its regular cars and
retire its intercity service to 45-minute
schedule instead of the half hourly time
now in force. just how seriously the
council considered the proposal of the
company to abrogate its franchise prom
ise was indicated by. speedy process
which nshered the petition into oblivion.
Alderman Keast's motion to refuse the
request followed immediately the read
| ing of the company's communication. Ii
was seconded by Alderman Glysson and
carried without dissenting vote.
! The letter bore the signature of the
company's manager and referred specif.
cally to section Is of the franchise grant.
ed the railroad by the city nearly II
/ years ago. Section rs insists that the
cars be operated at intervals of 30 min
utes between the two cities, whereas
in it's communication the company asked
to cancel zone car reduce the schedule 10
45 minutes and retain the regular Wash.
| ington street service. Since the eessa.
ton of activity in granite circles. the
communicate represented. the revenue
on the road has decreased Is per cent.
Beginning al @ a. m. and continuing un-
til 1880 O'Clock at night it has been
necessary TO operate three cars at one
time, the letter went on. A recitation Of
obstacles that have hindered the pros
perity of the traction line since the in.
dustrisl suspension was followed by the
request 70 annul section Is. Not
voice was raised in support of the re-
quest and not so much as a syllable
was uttered in debate over the commu.
nication.
