MET AT LAST.
THE CITY SOLONS COGITATE IN
COUNCIL.
How to Get to the Fair Ground-
Other Rapid Transit Proposals—
City Hall--Pavin«.
Mounted police were sent out yes-
terday evening to notify the members
of the city council that his honor de-
sired their attendance in the council
chamber at 5:30 p. in. for such busi-
ness as he might see fit to lay before
them.
They came with the exception of
Messrs. Fest Guerguin and Kalteyer.
His honor stated that he had called
them together to consider several im-
portant petitions presented in the
weeks elapsed since council met.
principal of which related to Rapid
Transit to the fair grounds.
The first petition presented was
from the San Antonio Land and Im-
provement companyof which mention
was made is these columns last Mon-
day. The petitioners pray for an or-
dinance gran ting them the right to
construct eq lip maintain and oper-
ate a line of street railway from the
south side of Market street along
Presa with switches side tracks and
turn-outs to the most convenient
place at or near fairground entcauce;
this right to continue for fifty years;
road to be operated by noiseless steam
motors track guage four feet eight
and a half inch to be laid with fifty
pound T rail.
The petitioners agree to give good
and sufficient bond to do what they
propose viz—construct the road to the
fair grounds by Nov. sth provided the
city will immediately grade and
gravel Presa street; also open a sixty
foot street for the public from Presa
street ac'oss their property north of
the fair grounds and donate gravel
from their pits for graveling Presa
street: and on this petition they
asked immediate action.
Tite second petition was from the
Cross town railway setting forth
their readiness to furnish an equip
in the best modern style a system of
street railways for passengers only
to be propelled by gas or electricity
motor at as high a rate of speed as is
consistent with safety and affirming
that t hey had abandoned all idea < f
anything else and only wished a track
thoroughly abreast of the times. Set-
ting forth the inadequacy of the pres-
ent franchise for the purposes of their
enlarged operations the Cross town
railway petitioned for right of way in
addition to that already granted for
three routes. Route No. 1 was for
line to the fair ground and embraced
several routes ; one from Alamo plaza
on East Houston to Avenue E Third
street Martin Navarro Paso over
Garden along Martinez and Presa
to the fair grounds: Or along
Houston to Nacogdoches through
Nolan Hackberry Dawson. Olive
East Commerce Pine and so out to
the fair grounds through private
property; or via Dakota street.and
New Braunfels avenue to the fair
grounds. Either one of these lines to
be completed to the fair grounds with-
in a year and tne other within two
years thereafter.
Route No. 2 —Over East Houstor
from Alamo plaza to Avenue E Third
street Taylor Fourth street across
bridge to Lexington avenue Dallas
street Richmond avenue Main ave-
nue Macon street. San Pedro avenue.
Maverick street Crockett place and
through same to the Fredericksburg
or Blanco road.
Route No. 3. —From plaza out Ave-
nue E to Eighth street Austin Grand
avenue Oak and out to Hood also
along Grand avenue to city limits.
The company agree to build all of
the road within three years after right
of way is granted.
Both petitions were referred to rail-
way committee for report at meeting
of council to be held Monday evening

George Maverick. John Withers
and L. Oje were granted permission to
lay drain pipes.
Petition iu behalf of Mountjoy (pau-
per ; of Wisdom for stoppage of gar-
bage carts encroachments on his
premises; of citizens asking re-
moval of policeman Stevens were
referred.
The sum of $2975 was appropriated
for polishing the granite columns of
tie new city hall; this on recomeu-
mendationof the mayor and state-
ment that no appropriation had been
been made for that worn.
Contractor Braden petitioned:—
1. For a reduction of the amount re-
tained by the city to 10 per cent.
2. For semi-monthly estimates.
3. For estimates on material deliv-
ered on tiie ground.
I make this request after taking in-
to consideration the bond I have fur-
nished for the faithful performance
of the contract and I frankly admit
that it will be next to impossible for
me to carry out the stipulations of
this contract without financial aid
from your honorable body. The ex-
pense and trouble undergone to fur-
nish tiie proper material for the struc-
ture has not been equalled in the his-
tory of building m the state. The
stone could never have been delivered
by the quarries from which the struc-
ture was to have been built and the
expense in securing and developing
proper quarries has crippled me to
such an extent that I am compelled
to ask Ihis concession on the part ot
your honorable body. Respectfully
submitted Your obedient servant
Ed. Braden.
Antonio Tex. July 29 ’B9.
| To the Honorable the Mayor and
City Council San Antonio Gentle-
men :
We the undersigned bondsmen for
I Edward Braden the within petltion-
er respectfully pray that the same be
granted.
