Consideration

There promises TO be very long
and interesting session OF the

ing, the meeting having been call
ed for 1880. Among other things
to be discussed this evening Will

become a party to the pI esent case

sion or bring separate action.
Another interesting feature will

the report Of a committee on pub
lie utilities, embracing the follow
ing:
1. Existing traction facilities
should be conserved.
2. The attitude now taken to-
ward street railway Problems

and future needs OF the commun-
ity.
3. The attitude which Is taken
toward street railway problems
should contemplate private owner
ship and operation.
4. Regulations should every
where be instituted that will
promptly follow the changes In the
situation OF the companies render
ing services Of local Transports
tion.
S. Provision should be made
against the consequences of unfair

6. All burdens unrelated to
tho service performed should be
removed from street railways.
Z. Official responsibility should
be definitely fixed for the appll-
cation of regulation.
s. Each company should seek

dent responsible executives wholly
conversant with local require
ments.
