This the attorneys for- the street railway deny. The referendum- against the blanket franchise, which was backed by the labor unions, was Sled within SO days, but not within IS. 'If the right of referendum is sustained the railway will not be able to extend its line to the Swift -plant and to make the other extensions-planned until after the election of 1910, and -then only on approval by-- the popular, vote, but It would be possible for the city council to pass a new ordinance covering the lines for which, there is the roost urgent demand.
