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.
Attorney Wlmbl.-h • •.•.nparrd the
streets, claimed to be too narrow, with
certain streets In New York on which
"traffic a hundred times greater than
on the streets in Atlanta found no
difficulty In threading its way."
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 of Councilman Foster
forbidding minors to work In wholesale
liquor houses was amended so as to
allow persons 18 years of age or over
to work In Wholesale houses with tho
consent of parents or guardians,
age limit \\;is f 1 \i’d ;• t Ifl years by the
Committee, but Councilman Foster suc
cessfully fought this down, saying It
defeated the very spirit of the ordi
nance.
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.
"If President Smith don’t like It.
let him pour It back in the Jug," was
the terse manner Alderman Quillian
expressed his opinion on the never-
ending East Hunter street railroad
yard difference. Tho plan drawn up
by President Smith’s engineers, allow
ing four openings on Hunter street
nnd one on Butler street, was Intro
duced as a substitute for the ordi
nance which has been passed. Tho
matter again went to the street com
mittee. Alderman QuIUInn said that
tho council had considered the matter
nnd had passed on ordinance. The
new petition was presented by Aldor-
ninn Peters.
