The CRy Council may put Ihe imich

railroad franchise up at auction and sell
it to the highet bidder.
That la the proposition of Alderman
J*nv * M Dixon, and Mr. J. H Co.llns has
already made a bid of Ig. l "** for the fran
chise on Montgomery street alone.
Those were In brief the proposition*
which confronted Council iat night and
caused action on the matter to be de
ferred. It was on this a < ount that the
street railroad franchises which are being
applied for by the Vernon Hhell Itoad
Company, represented by Mr I#. H Ic -
ter and !*y Mr. J. H. coiling were r.*>t
voted on by t'ouiKll laM night, as had
been expect<-d.
The primary reason for Councll'a falling
to act was the proposlfton from Mr. Col-
Hn-. in which he offered the city $: for
the franchise from Water* avenue and
AnderNoiv itrc*t and on Monigotm-ry to
Hay street, unconditionally.
Another reason was that A Merman
luxori offered a r'-soluti-jf; the purport of
which was that ihe and *lred franchhw be
put up at auction and to the highest
bidder.
The result of thru* new proposition*
was that uit re-oiutlon* r* kiting t< the
franchise in question were referred to the
Commit tee of the Whole, whl* Will m *-t
on Jan 3 to consider the whole question.
Mr. Collin*’ proposition, which proved
the most interesting feature >f the fran
chise question, was submit i.si to Council
In caucus. Mr Collins objec ed to Uie ap
p.ir**m tendency t<> delay a< tlon on Hie
franchise. He made his proposition as
follow*:
’ If Council Win give me the franchise
from Water* avenue and Anderson stre* t
to Montgomery, Montgomery to Huy
-tre.-|. unconditionally, in consideration
therefor I will jy Into th** cpy treasury
the sum of $5,010. If this Is not satisfac
tory. lain willing to enter into an agree
ment wMth Council to allow the Vernon
Shell Road Company to use the tracks
which I propose to lay on Montgomery
*reet upon an equitable hasls.”
Mr. Collins called attention <he road
be owtj* *>n Dale avenue to Thunderbolt.
He lias no disposition to interfere with
the Vernon Shell Hoad Company, he ald,
bu* fk that Council should aid him In
giving the public an additional r ad to
Thunderbolt ll* also called attention to
the fact that the -outlieastern section of
th* city Is practically whhout street rail

Council AVnnte Prerldns for It In
River Und Heritor Hill.
The City Council wants to see the river
in front of the city widened all the way
to 4 feet as contemplated in the origi
nal project.
Resolutions Introduced by Alderman
Baron looking <o this end were unani
mously adopted by Council last night.
These* resolutions etate that such width
was contemplated In the original plan for
the improvement of the harbor and call
attention to the fact that the Georgia and
Alabama Terminal Company in construct
ing Its terminals, widened that portion of
the river upon which they front. This,
it Is stated, has demonstrated the great
benefit that would follow from the widen
ing of the whole river along the wharves
to W 0 feet.
The resolutions therefore ask that the
member of Congress from this district,
and the senators and congressman from
Georgia ex-~rt their best effort* to have
Incorporated in the river and harbor bl!l
now before Congress ”ttu* requisite pro
vision to have this m*'si e*dful and
beneficial feature Included and provided
for in the project and work for improv
ing this harbor ”
Copies of the resolutions will be sent
to each member of Congress from Geor
gia. their attention being called to the
fact thut the work propped to he done
will be easy and of very small cost.
