At a meeting of the Common Council at 8 o'clock last night Mr. J. Frank East was In the chair as president, and members were present as follows: Messrs. Beaman, Camp, Denby, Fltr gibbons, Klernah, Mayo. Old, Pitt, Rldgwell, Stahl, Seneca, Tllton, Tun stall, Underdown, Walker and White hurst. The petition of the Norfolk and At? lantic Terminal Company to build on the corner of City Kail avenue and Atlantic street was read. Mr. Lowenberg said he was present to give any Information, If any were needed. A galvanized building is need? ed because it would be more orna? mental than brick would be'. The in? surance will be no more on any adjoin? ing building. Mr. Tllton proposed to speak against frame buildings In the heart of the city. If the city will ever put off swad? dling clothes it must do so now. It Is a serious menace to put anything but a brick structure at the corner of At? lantic Btreet and Plume street. No step backward should be taken now. There should not be any frame building in the heart of the city. The report of the Fire Committee was carried by 14 to 4, REDUCED CAR FARE. Petition of the Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Company to connect its line at Atlantic street. The Street Commit tee approved the petition. Mr. Tllton moved that the report of the committee be adopted. Mr. East offered an amendment {.hat children be allowed to go to and" from school at a three-cent fare and two fares for five cents. Mr. East spoke In favor of his amend? ment, saying that such an amendment to a previous franchise was lost. The railway should grant this request be? cause the Council has been liberal In dealing with this road. Mr. Lowenberg said he fully concur? red with Mr. East. There Is a dif? ference between the railways. The Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Com? pany Is not like the Norfolk Railway and Light Company, because the one Is a producing property, while the other Is not. It Is merelv In process of devel? opment. It is not a paying busi? ness. The road is not able to do what the gentleman asks. It makes no dif? ference how much money there Is be? hind the enterprise if the owners do not make something on their .property Continued on Page 6. l TM U U, KOTICK. WILKINS.?The funeral of Mrs. AN?
