The following resolution was offered
by Alderman Knight, who moved is
adoption:
Whereas the Railroad Commission of Wis
consin on December a. 1915, entered an order
for the repair Of the depot of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway company, and
whereas negotiations have been carried on be-
tween a committee representing the CONNER
cial Club of this city and the representatives of
said railway company. and whereas as a result
of said negotiations it is the judgment of said
committee and said railway company and the
judgment Of the Common Council of this city,
that the best interests of all concerned will be
promot d by an extension of the time within
which such repairs be made. And whereas from
such negotiations it fu1 Their appears that the
railway company would be inclined to build a
new depot, at time when conditions are more
normal rather than make the repairs conte m
plated by tho order of the Railroad Commission
Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the Com
mon Council of the CITY Of Mineral Point, that
the Railroad Commission, be and is hereby re-
ques'ed to extend the time Within which such
repairs might be made for a period of one year.
And it is further resolved that a copy of this
resolution be mailed at once to the Railroad
~ kl,o
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railway Company.
