The committee Appointed by the‘hayas
Ian's lsaatae Dorrie-Developments

Ihaalhew a Determined Purpose to
Innate the General Public.

' “The oo'tnmittae appoltmd by the
Iayerat theeity meeting tooarryout
tbevnte of the mestlng.met Senator
Mb at City Attorney Light’s oiilco,
leatnight. All the mornhsra were prea-
ant. as was also Reprmentatlve ltowan.

The general opinion was that the pro-
posed charter of t. Street Railway oom-
pny was altogether too broad and grasp-
iag,aud that the company should be
confined as at present on this and of
Needs Main street to one track, and not
beallowed to extend their tracks on
streets already occupied by the Tram-
way company. it was suggested that
the senator recall the bill and secure
such an amendment. This he thought
would prove too cumbersome, and it was
dually agreed thathe should try to obtain
an amendment, leaving the matter of
going under the bridge to the Council.

_, _. Representative Rowan was quite sure
anchan amendment could be obtained
byer Ferris, but Mr. Ferris was
uotao confident. The committee will
try insecure a hearing before the Fair-
tlald county representatives before the
bill bput on its passage in the House.

Aethis matter is inquired into. there
aradevelopements that show that a de-
termined purpose exists to ignore the
moral public for personal interests, and
this has crystalizsd public sentiment and
arousal adetermlnation to prevent the
occupancy of the passage under the
bridge stall hazards, and to insist upon
the rights of the community to a voice
in their own siiairs.

The people are asking if all their rights
are who taken away, and there will be
ademand fora law similar .to that in
New York state for the submission of
matters pertaining to communities to
each com__munities.

The power house is a substantial brick
structure, forty by one hundred feet,
built upon a foundation of solid rock
which was discovered when excavations
for the underpinning were made. The
south side or rear of the build.
is of wood, built so that
can be readily removed
whenever it becomes necessary to en-
large the plant. Tbe machinery consists
of two Benton boilers, a 250 horse-
power engine of McIntosh d: Srymour'a
make, and one of the General Electric
company‘s dynamos. Ii. P., 266,

the plant. To hold the ponderous
chimney against wind pressure, eight
one and one-balf-incb bolts are sunk live
feet into the ledge upon which it resin.
The driving belt is also mammoth in its
proportions.

The car house. standing near by, is 50

Berlin Iron Bridge company. Four
tracks enter the building, which hasa
storage capacity of twenty cars. it is
small compared with the carhiatsethe
company proposes to erect in the future
on its property at this point. For the
present the building on Woodward ave-
nue, which is provided with pita for get-
ting at the mechanism under the cars,
will be the main car house. The com-
pany now owns twentyvthree cars,a'nd
nearly all of them will see every-day use
during the busy summer season.
