CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Life Franchise Granted far the Construc
tion ft an Electric Railway.
The city council met in regular in
slon 'af-t eight with a fall board of al
demen present.
Tn^minutea of tbe previous meet
ing were reed and approved.
The routine business, snch as allow
ing accounts and passing on claims,
ira" transacted, and then tbe flxiog of
sauries for the present was taken
αι·. Tbe ordtnaroe filing,* salaries
of the various officials was cause
of quite a tpirlfed eiscuet-ion. The
ordinance was passed without any
changes being made.
Another ordlnande prohibiting mer
chants from uning music, fantastically
dressed persons, clowns, etc.. to at
tract attention to their wares or
advertise their places of business.
Polio wing out the recommendation
of the mayor an ordinance waa passed
making the city secretary an ofilce
nun and that he be placed in charge
of the books, papers belonging to the
wat«*r department This m itter ban
been unler advisement for several
months on account of the incrtaoed
business in that department. The
system Is being extended and new
patron* la being added da ly and at
present it is utterly impossible for the
euperinterdent to look after the ex·
tention cf the mains and give hie
books proptr attention. The salary
of the* stcretary will remain at *60
per annum.
Mr. A. Byers of Port Worth, who is
interested iu thr construction and
operation of electric railways, was
present with an ordinance asking for
a franchise to enter Waxahachie witn
a tro'liy line. The ordinance called
for a life franchise for the construc
tion and operation ia the city of an
inter-urban railway to connect Knnis
and Waxahachie.
After the ordinance was rtad Mr.
I Byers spoke for several miaules in
I behaif of its passage. He explained
the many advantages to be derived
J from the construction of the road and
said thai to secure the franchise in
the two towns would mako it easier
to procure the right of way between
them. It would cost about #300,000 to
build the road from here to Ënnls, but
no bonus would be required for that
purpose. When the right of way has
been procured bonds for the con
struction of the road will be Issued
and floated in the east.
At the conclusion of Mr. Byars'
speech the ordinance was passed with
only two dissenting votes.
At the Theater.
The Curtlss Comedy Company gave
anotner creditable performance at the
new opera house last night. Tbe bill
for tbe evening, "Man and Master,"
is a strong melo*drama and its pre
sentation last night by Mr. Curtlss
and his company won the admiration
of the large audience. The various !
roles were handled in an admirable
manner. The music furnished by the
orchestra delighted all.
Tonight "The Senator's Daughter"
a beautitui society play, will be the :
i attraction. At the conclusion of the
thiru act tonight three handsome
rocking chairs will be given away.

Another highly important action of
the council, and an action wh'ch
piece· them in front ■« pra^rPHlti
councilman, and promises great b>r.< ·
fits to the city' was the granting '<
two franchisee to A. T. Byars an i l· ι
associai es of Fort Worth.
One of these is tbe right to er >ct ar d
maintain an electric light and powei
• yatem in tbe city and the other is to
establish and maintain a atreet rr ii
way ayetem in the city cf Em -
The company wil! oe nui» r ο jliga.iuu
to commence work la el* months and
to have tbe road in opérai) u in 1$
months. Mr. Byara is t^e ^romotei
of the inter-ubran road lie w rn En·
nie and Waxahachie and bt :ι«β been
granted all necessary fra- cMses in
Waxahacnle, and the Commi-^ioners'
Court will promptly grant ml that i«
asked for between the two cities.
This Is an Important enter^ ite *nd

as a great benefit to the iLitrvenicg
