Chairman Moyer of the franchisend privileges committee reported for

his committee unfavorably on the orlinance suing the Pensacola Develop-ment

¬

and Construction company aright ot way OH Garden street for atreEt railway line Tho adverse rport provoked considerable discussion-the ordinance being hampioned byAldermen Concannon and Bear bothof whom put foth reasons why theordinance should b < passed Theyboth favored coaiootltion in thestrett railway lines Alderman Viirams stated that the ordinance in tbppresent shape was not of such a chllr-adpr as would enable him to cast avote for it as he regarded it as un ¬

businesslike in that he did not seethat it would be a moneymaking pro-ject

¬ I

Alderman Mover who submitted-the

I

report did not believe that the I

compensation offered the city for the I

use of Garden street was a commen-surateI one the company having offeredbut 5 per cent of its earnings

Alderman Williams said that Aernuld not see where axy benefit ofconsequence would come to the city

rom the construction of a line out ofthe woods to Garden street but howanted to go on record as favoringany legitimate enterprise which wouldcreate any competition He also saidthat he had every interest of the cityat heart and would be the first tovote for anything that would be tothe citys benefit but he had not madeup his mind that the ordinance as itwas drawn would be of such benefitand he made it plain that he wouldvote against it

Judge Avery counsel for the de-velopment company spoke on themeasure saying that the company-was able financially to put the projecthrough and a letter was later readrom the president of a bank in Selma

stating the financial standing of somef the men behind the project The

feiattcr of accepting the committee re-pot
