That is the real matter before the city coun- cil. One of two things can be done, either relay thetracks and keep the trolly wire poles where they are. or set such poles outside the tracks en~ tirely and put wire supports ' across ’the street over head as in Chicago. The matter really belongs to the people from the Electric Light com- pany‘s plant south to the Sheridan road; how do they want the matter adjusted? The council will hold a special meeting next Tuesday even- ing, for their benefit, to hear what they have to say in favor or against one or both of these plans. There is an ordinance before the city coun- cil to permit the company to widen their tracks, leaving the trolIy poles gm when they are. This ordinance iMd have passed at the he: meet- ing. but for the fact that sonic citi- zens along the line asked for}: little delay, that they might be - heard; Hence the special council meeting for theirrparticular benefit. Just now the problem w hich inâ€" teroets us is the satisfactory adjust. ment of the street railway double track afiairs.

Thaie are plenty of goéd the Highland Park News. business men now in this city who say our twenty year franchise grant- ed the company for nothing. is a better thing for the'city than Lake Forests’ $10,000 fifty year one was for that hamlet. To sell our extra thirty years 1917â€"1947 for $10,000 they say would be a very serious risk: that thirty year franchise, with the line all through from Milwaukee to Chicago, with all these north shore towns greatly increased in popula- tion and business, all the details of operating the road perfected, from 1917 to 1047, will be worth nearer $50,000 than $10,000. and it would therefore be very poor policy for the city to sell it now for $10.0000r any similar sum. There are therefore easily two sides to the question. Hence to accuse the council with throwing away a valuable franchise, etc, is easy enough to say. but quite another thing to prove. and does not argue a very clear or level business head. We confess that in View of the phenomenal, yea the stupendous growth and development ofthe street railway interests in Chicago. since our residence here, we have been,and still are. in favor of short term {ran chises.

He went on and worked the next Week and Sat~ urday night he wanted some more money to go to Chicago to see about his pension papers or something of that kind and Mr. Allen refused him, but finally let him have fifty cents or a dollar to come up town to the bar- ber's, making $6.00 in all paid him.
