When the Glencoe franchise for‘ the Chicago St Milwaukee Electric Road was passed, much emphasis was laid on the fact that the interests of the village were safeguarded in all respects. that the Road was strictly prohibited from carrying freight, that all trains were re- quired to make at least one stop in Glen; I At a meeting ohhe Vinage Council held August 3rd Mr. Walker, reporting for the Indiciary Committee, in response to a request that the Road be allowed to haul broken stone through Glencoe to furnish an outlet to a Wisebnsin stone doe, at Park Ave., to take on and let 03 passengeu, and that the penalty clause, while sufficiently flexible to prevent any unftir drastic action, was also ample to insure the enforcement of these pa» quarry, called attention to these facts. rod- ommended that the Road be notified that it is not observing tho limintions of in franchise, that it would be réquired to observe these limitations in good faith and that, m as: of wilful and continued failure to regard it: franchise obligations, Mr. and Mn.

Mr. Hughes. who, as executive head of the Village. is required by his ofi‘tcial oath to enforce this' franchise, at well an all other laws of the Village. thereupon voted against the enforcement 30! these requirements of the franchise land, as the result of this kind of enforce- ment of the thlage ordinances. the Electric Road will not even be notified that itia expected to observe these re- quiremenrs of its franchise. t .L-.
