In this respect the ordinance Is dellclent. All fimi rhlbeH lxlimg to the cltj, nnd tho city and Its otllUals Hlioubl belong to the ptoplo, nnd It is mj' opinion that bald ordinance Is not In the lnteiests of tho people. "Vi:ilSTi:it n.VVIS. Major" Mr. Craig moved that the onllnnnco and message be lefeued to the public Improve ments committee, but the motion wns not seconded. Tho speaker put It to the bouse, however, and It was promptly voted down. Mr. Cling being tho only member to votu for It, Then Mr. Drown took the floor. ITe said that the major's statement wns couched In the most general turns. Ills objections weie not made directly against nny partic ular featura of the oidlnuneo. In regard tn theio being no renium latlon to tho peo pin tor tho grant bo thought ill it point was nnsweied by tho fact that all of tho piesent franchise's glvo the cltj' the light to put a tax; 1111 eveiy car opeiated by the eompany, In tho form of a. license. Ho said that provis ion remains, nnd if the franchiso is t-o val uable and becomes moiu bo in the futilie, so that there should be a larger revenue, the council has tho power to Increase tho license. At present tho cltj- Is ill awing a levenuo from this source In nddltlon to tho revenue fiom taxation of tho eotn pnnj's ptaperty. Under tho new onllnnnco tiansfer privileges ate inailu obligatory, unit the peoplo will get vast benefit theie fiom. when all tho facts weio considered lio could see no reahon tn change his mind, nnd should vote to pass the ordinance. Mr. Kldwell took similar ground. Ho milled that the committee having chnrgo of the matter ha 1 given it as borlous attention and as beiious thought as any measuro beforo tho council hnd ever received. He then rend tho messnge, nnd snld that tho major had criticised the house very sharn lv. He thought It would have been sulll elent for the major to have said that In bis opinion the oidlnancu was dellclent. He did not know what construction tho major put on tho closing sentences of tho message, but he construed It to Imply that the major thought tho inembeis who voted for the ordin ince had been paid a price, Jf such was the Intention of the major ho wished to repel It. Ho discussed the mat ter nt great length, nnd concluded by reit erating his objection to tho language of the mebbago and tho statement that ho would vote to pass the ordinance, Mr. Olson snld that as n member of tho committee which had consideied und 1 ex ported on the ordlnnnce, ho had supported it, He lived In a district where there were a great many w 01 king people, who to-day are unable to lido to their vvoik without pajing two fares. He favored the chance to give them a ride to uny point In the city for 5 cents. He would vote for tho ordi nance, Mr. Cratg said that he understood his colleagues had refused to support n motion to refer because the major had refused to call a meeting for to-night. Ho wanted the people to have a chance to express themselves and If the mayor refused tn call another meeting the delay was tho fault of tho major and not of tho house. In the Ilsht he had on the measure, with the transfer provisions in It, he would re peat his vote of the night before. Speaker Stoner called Mr. Craig to the chair and criticised the extension section of tho ordinance. He favored the transfer sjstein.but said whatever action was taken by the council would subject tho members to criticism. He spoka at length on the po litical effect of the matter, and urged the members to do what they inought was right. He resumed the chair, und nobody else wishing to speak, put the question as above. Councllmen Pendergast, Moran, Craig, Olson, Itegati, How man. Hrown. Kldwell and Mr. Speaker voted to pass and Councilman Illeger to sustain tho veto. The speaker then announced that a two thirds majority of the members elect hav ing voted la tho ulHrmatlve, the ordinance avna n.lttspd.
