from Gratiot ta Woodward and from Brush street to the Cass avenue line but not from Wood ward avenue to Cass or Brush street lines When the session of the committee op ened Chairman Goeschel announced that he was in favor of holding up the fran chises asked for by the company until that company had agreed to give the Detroit Railway down town terminals ty the joint use of tracks In addition he wanted universal transfers and three cent fares from the company Aid Jacob said the result of any attempt to noid up the ordinance givirgthe fran chises asked for would be to delay the ehangjag of the horse car lines to electric lines and rapid transit know as well as I do that three cent fares will never be ifivin by any road Do yoa remember the Byrnes affidavit?" said Aid The affidavit referred to was one psbxishea last fun in which it was stated that th promise to rive three eent fares was only a tempcrary one used to blind the public and give Mayer Pingree Tom Johnson then explained that he was not asktasr lar franchises only streets for loop lines lie seemed just a bit tired of all the inr and AWdcarine oyer the matter and in rather a decided way said that lie would compelled to sitsde tracks and switches the same as an the horse ear lines if the council did not give Wm the kraps He wanted loops for the sake of rood service to the public but he could get a i jrr with a sinrie track and switches jf neces sary He addeu that the company was repared so co ahead and hadmaerial tor at race eq ip ptte about half of its tracks vfti electricity and wasted to set to work immediately Aid Deimel had a petition protesting against a track on Rivard street as proposed ft a loop for the Rmweil street line The kick was re spected and double tracks will be place on us and the single

have tracks on Rus sell street and that petitions asking for them had been seat to him The Russell street Hue will ran north from Gratiot avenue to the city limits Some ourth arenne citizens were present to protest against a track tm their street and bad a ing petition with them They said a track on Third avenue and one on Crawford street an swered an of the demands Mr Johnson ex plained that it the ears went up Third avenue and down Crawford forming a loop the resi dents of eeond avenue would bare to walk three lorr blocks to Crawford street for a car Then ft was stated that the Third

flinance lavins Brooke and Taylor residents of the section of tbe city north of the railroad tracks and Woodward avenue asked the council provid in the ordinance bat trans fers to the Wooiwar i avenue line be cii to rhe City limits the same as on the other lines Mr Jniinmm objected to having such a "clause placed in the ordinance as lie had a cc mplica thm with the suburban road from which the franchue from north Woodward avenue came and he did not wk to make it any worse by having transfers tacked on "I will give you north Woodward avenue people a good sc: vice" he said 1 ill do it willingly but I do net want to be compelled to do it at present ex pect to have aH Woodward avenue cars running to the city limits Aid Weiler's resolution requiring the com pany to employ none but American cltizeris was irxswporated in the ordinance and Mr Johnson agreed to it AM Gerecke put in a clause re quiring the company to remove all switches now used on single track lines as ruoa as the loop lines were made Aid Jacob suggested that the ordinance reported to the comm coun cil placed on its first and second reading and then laid ore the table That would expedite the "consideration of it he raid As it was every time the committee had a meeting some new objection arose and nothing was accom plished If any changes were to be made to the ordinance it could be made later on by amend

Graham to watch the weather closely and to take no risks but wait in port when the indications were bad On the morning in question two earloads of freight lay on the dock in Milwaukee but in spite of the fact that Stines had been ordered not to go without it be steamed away and left IL Had he remained to load it on his boat he would have received the telegram sent by Mr Graham to stay in port

"Phantasma" entertainment for the benefit of the building fund of the As sociation at the Lyceum Theater last even ing The poor "weather was perhaps some excuse and undoubtedly many who had bought tickets remained away on that ac count but the genuine merit of the enter tainment should be seen and appreciated by all who have not only am eye for the novel and beautiful but who have rhe good of the association at heart John Sherman is the inventor of what may be termed dissolving living pictures the execution of which is wrought by the assistance mainly of sheets of rench plate glas and black curtains on the plan of the illusions which were so interesting at the local exposition some years ago That the dramatis personae are all amateurs makes the entertainment all the more re markable but Mr experience as a stage manager and in the grouping and general arrangement of tableaux is the power that animates the participants and puts the effective touches to the pictures that make of them a success The band furnished the music play ing from the orchestra pit The young tney can no longer be called trays approiriately liae shown pronounced improvement in the last and it was
