Railway Franchise Goes Over, After one hour of discussion, during which time Captain Ellis and Mr. Wlm- blsh, of the law firm of Ellis, Wlmbish & Ellis, were hefird from. It was de cided to hold the franchiso of the elec tric railway between this city, Griffin nnd Macon until tho next session of council for definite action. Several of the council members stated that they could not vote on so Important an ordi nance as the one drawn up by City At torney Mayson, giving franchise to the company, without giving It careful con sideration. It was decided to have cop ies made nnd one furnished each of tne councllmrn. The feature of the ordinance was the rate of taxation. It stated that the company must pay annually 2 per cent of the gross receipts in Atlanta for the first five years and 5 per cent for the remaining time of the franchise. This Is aside from any other taxation that may l»i« l»-\ 1« d. and Is i<> In ImmmI mi ,i 5-‘ent faro fur every person riding in the city. There is also to be a tax on the gross receipts of express hauled. Alderman Key# who was Instrumental In getting the ordinance laid over, stated that It would be Impossible to ascertain what these receipts were and that the city would have to rely entire ly on the company’s veracity. When the rules were suspended, Cap tain Ellis first took thp floor. In reply to the objections made against tho new road b>* Joel Hurt, ho stated that, In his opinion, Mr. Hurt did not intend building a theater, as he had stated. He then set forth the advantages of the new road, stating that It would mark a now era in Atlanta's history.

In answer to Alderman Key’s ques tion, he stnted that register would he kept exclusively for the fprea collected In Atlanta. Liquor Men May Hire Minors.

The ordinance prohibiting saloon men from selling or giving liquor to members of the police force under u penalty <>f $l«"i or 3" days or the revo cation of license was sent back to the police board. The situation crested by the ordinance has been unique. When it first came up many of tho councllmen spoke fdr It. Later tho members of the police force showed their strong aversion to it, nnd de clared they would not vote for any one who had voted for It. About half of supporters switched. Mayor Wood ward spoke tor the measure when it first came up: but. after its passage, he wrote that the penalty was too heavy. City Attorney Mayson construed this ns a veto nnd the council failed to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto. The vote Monday stood 10 to 10. Can't Railroad Railroad Ordinance.
