Munson was glad to tee so Large an attendance and especially so Many new Resi dents riving evidence that the Ward was making fast Progress. They should have at the Council Board two men who would carefully and zealously look after their interests. He would like their representatives to go pledged to rive the Extension of the Street railway system their warm support. A to extending the franchise a Quarter of a Century was a Long time but they wanted to get the electric system at once. The would be sorry to eoe poles such As Thomao on River Avenue extended to disfigure other streets he thought poles with brackets would be More pleasant to look upon and equally effective. He gave or Austin credit for managing the affairs of Hie company economically and keeping its financial standing crowd when other enter Prises had failed. He wasted to a Good Man nominated for the Ward and instructed that Ward 1 did t want the Snow to come before the matter of the electric Street rail Way was put through. Or. Wolf concurred As to the necessity of construction As rapidly As possible and he said if or. Austin would agree to the terms offered by the Jefferson company last year let him have it. Or. Austin had combated every paragraph of the agreement with that company with the cry. Why can t i get this same Opportunity 1 and the negotiations resulted in Complete failure. The City Council had since nought to bring or. Austin to terms but though he was then willing to take Twenty years he now practically wanted thirty so years. He now had a monopoly of main Street but he wanted it emphatically declared that nobody should parallel Hie Lino. The other company were willing to build to All Perks or. Austin would Only build to his own Park he preparing for summer and the various City implement agencies Are Al ready to alias preparations for a Large Sale of harvesting machinery to the Farmers of Mani Toba ind the Northwest during the coming six months. The old established agencies am receiving heavy stocks of machinery from the East and everything gives Promise of a most successful season. Or. H. S. Seabrook.

He had never Given the City any thing until forced. He bled the citizens for years and to Trad not give transfers to was carefully considering tap to Jet the Best system be took 2j years and jut last adopted that of the conductor holding up a Finger or two fingers and shouting one or to indicate the number of passengers to be transferred this would have taken three and one half years if the Jefferson company had Nob come along. Or. Munson moved seconded by or. Is an ton that this meeting approve of the proposition now before the City Council for the Extension of the electric Street rail Way system and desire to see the same Given effect to. As speedily an possible. Or. Bull said he could not support the motion not knowing the details of or. Austin a proposition. Or. Munson said the motion meant approval of the by Law before the Council the main Pointa of which were that before the 1st of september next the electric system should a in running order on main Street with a double line with ornamental poles that by the 1st of december this year there should be a circuit on notre Dame Nena Lueloh and main streets that within eighteen months the line be built up Portage Avenue by Oab orae Street bring e that within live years it shall a finished to the City Park and exhibition grounds that this year it Ohall be finished to Elm Park making 9j Miles in All to be buit this year. Also on request of the Council the line is to be extended on any Street having within a Quarter of a mile on each Side of it a population of 800 Over five years of age. Or. Nanton did t think it made much difference whether they had a monopoly of thirty or thirty six years to make the Rod Way a Success for the owners it would have to be run in the interests of the Public. With a proper system and a Good railway it would not make much difference whether or. Austin was at the head of it and whether a was a Liberal Man or not to make the Road pay himself he must accommodate the citizens. As to the cities is having been bled by him. How much pro 9 to had he made 1 and what town or City in Canada had bad a better Street rail Way system in its Young Day ii than Winnipeg or. Nanton mentioned Sony facts to show that the storage system had not yet been developed no As to pay. With reference to monopoly be said that unless a monopoly wore Given for a certain length of time the necessary Money could Noli be raised. He asked whether the Jefferson company bad satisfied the Council that they had the Money and How it was that or. Austria bad had snob Power to take Aid. Wolf and the other Alder men by the Throat. He thought the proposition made by or. Austin was Dot an unreasonable one and act arrangement made with him would be carried out or. Smith pointed out the advantage that would have resulted from introducing the electric system a year ago through giving employment to a Large number of men whose custom would have helped the retail dealers. Or. Munson spoke of the manner in which the City Council bad treated propositions he said there seemed to be a sort of fatality attending everything they did everything they touched seemed to Wilt Droop and die. He asked How it was that the Jefferson people had been allowed to leave having been kept dangling for weeks until they away in Duguin. There waa a feeling that it was impossible to carry out any business proposition with the Council. The motion was carried a Small minority voting against it. The selection of a candidate to succeed Aid. Mcbride was next proceeded with. Holman Naree Stephenson John gait and Mulvey were successively proposed but they All declined to run. After considerable Effort or. At last persuaded to reconsider his decision and he was accepted with unanimity and applause As the representative for the word in the City Council to succeed Aid. Mcbride. Or. Tophy brought no the need of better fire Protection and or. Nores the Long standing grievance of the arrears of Money promised the Ward when it was taken into the City us the need of m main sewer. Or. Mulvoy had been spent on carding in the Ward besides the free Bridges. There was in the neighbourhood of still owing the warder elusive of third Bridge. The aldermen for the Ward would have to unite with other aldermen of other of buying portions of the City to secure their rights. The ratepayers property had been mortgaged to do inside the City and now they had to pay for their own improvements. It was unjust that they should be taxed for the paving of main Street other improvements amounting to nearly and vet if they wonted a sewer they must pay for it themselves. Or. Brophy moved and it was curried. That the aldermen for Ward 1 be inn trusted to at once press vigorously for the perform Ance of the terms of the agreement Between the Ward and the City particularly with re foresee to the Konsti motion of a Bridge at Boundary Street and the expenditure of the amount agreed upon for the construction of a sewerage system and the improvements in the Ward which Ore urgently needed. A motion waa made by or. Nares. Seconded by or. Drommond calling upon or. Austin to carry out his Promise to Ward 1 by giving transfers at once at the main Street Bridge.
