T. CHICAGO COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
News From Public Serv-
ice Commission Stirs
Aldermanic Body.

Hesitating on taking any drastic
measures OF forcing the street car
company by ordinance to pave their
right-of- in East Chicago. the
meeting held last night empowered
City Attorney James W. Brissey
with the authority TO take inlmed-
late action. as legal procedure would
permit.
kiong with other instructions City
Attorney Brissey was advised to
write the utility commission and
learn from that official body as to
what class or composite mixture of
street Improvement would be used
by the street car company. in East
Chicago.
An open discussion on this ques
tion by council members brought
out many plausible suggestions.
One of these was three-fold -un-
dertaking introduced in the form Of
a motion by Councilman Davis. The
steps of this legal action as proposed
are:
1.-The City Attorney would file an
affidavit for the supervising official
of the Green Line company to ap-
pear in court for violating the penal
section of the city ordinace that
ordered them to pave their right-of-
ways in 150th and Forsyth avenue.
2-At the same time the city
would take an appeal from the rul-
ing OF the Public Service Commits
sion. which relieved the street car
company from the city ordinance
TO the appellate court to reverse the
commissions decision.
S-In the meantime to safe guard
against accident while making this
legal fight. the council proposes to
fill in these street car right-of-
ways that would suffice for the time
being until complete settlement was
reached.
An ordinance was drafter to take
immediate action against the street
car company was laid upon the table
by the council when other ways
were given preference
This action is the outgrowth of
the Public Service Co. ruling reliev-
ing the street car company from
paving between their tracks on
15oth street and Forsyth avenue.
