MUSKOGEE, IND. TER,
The council met in special sassion
about six o'clock last evening for the
purpose of considering the ordinance
granting to the Midland Valley Railroad
company the right to use twenty feet
of Elgin avenue for a distance of sev-
eral blocks.
Aldecmen Lanning, Ury and Durham
were absent.
The regular order of business was dis-
pensed with and the railroad (wdiwaaee
was called up.
Mr. Haskell and J. W. McLond, of
the Midland Valley, were prssoat, and
Mr. McLoud explained to the council
that a change had been made in the 01
dinanee.
The ordinance was read, aed ti was
found that while the Midland Valtejr
wanted twenty feet of Elgin av n«a,
the road proposed to give to the city a
street through their right-of-way
north of Elgin avenue, tweniy-fivs feet
wide, and in addition the road agreed
to cnn°truct gi*c to the city a e<- -
crete sidewalk along the side of the
street, the walk and the street leading
up to the Midland Valley passenger
depot.
Mr. Gibson, the attorney, who stated
at the meeting of the couacil held Mon-
day night he would take legal steps to
prevent the didlaad Valley having
twenty feet of Elgin avenue, was pres-
ent, and said that as the ordinance had
been changed it was perfectly satisfac-
tory to him and to the parties be rep-
resented.
Messrs. Lanning and Durham came
in and Mr. Reeves had to leave.
The ordinance was discussed at length
and explanations were made by Mr. Mc-
Loud and Mr. Haskell, on behalf of the
railroad.
A motion was put that the ordinance
be placed upon its final reading, and
the vote was five for and one against
the passage of the ordinance, Alderman
Hubbard voting no.
In explanation of his vote Mr. Hub-
bard explained that he thought the
Frisco officials should be notified and
let them have an opportunity to object,
if they havi any objections to offer.
Mayor Rutherford had formerly ex-
pressed this view, and agaiu stated
that if the council would meet Wednes-
day to again take up the matter, he
